Austin is serious about it's green spaces and the green belt stretches for miles, with multiple trail-head entrances. It took me a bit to figure out how to access it, until I found this guide. https://austinot.com/austin-greenbelt-guide
Dogs welcome. Most people let them off leash, although it's not technically allowed and can carry a fine. Consider bringing a swim suit if you want to enjoy any of the streams along the trail.
