Country Club Creek Trail
The City of Austin Capital Delivery Services is developing the Country Club Creek Trail in partnership
with Austin Transportation and Public Works Urban Trails Program. Once complete the trail will be 3.5 miles long and link Mabel Davis Park, home to Austin’s first public skate park, to Roy G. Guerrero Metro Park, located on the east side of Lady Bird Lake.
Country Club Creek Trail is completed and open to the public from Roy G. Guerrero Park to Riverside Drive, and from E Oltorf Street to Ventura Drive. The Urban Trails Program is working to connect these sections through an active project between Riverside Drive and E Oltorf Street.
Trail Limits
Trail System Overview
The Country Club Creek Trail was originally identified and partially constructed by the South East Austin Trails and Greenways Alliance. This trail has been developed in sections, with four completed and open to the public and one remaining section in progress.
Country Club Creek Trail was included in the City's 2014 Urban Trails Plan because it provides important connections between many local attractions, homes, sidewalks, and bicycle lanes.
Completed Sections
Elmont Drive to Riverside Drive
After exiting Roy G. Guerrero Park, this 12-foot wide concrete path consists of a protected bicycle lane that is accessible to people of all ages and abilities. Country Club Creek Trail from Elmont Drive to Riverside Drive was completed in fall 2019. This section and the in-progress section from Riverside Drive to Oltorf Street were funded through the 2016 Mobility Bond.
Burleson Road to Ventura Drive
On the southern end, Country Club Creek Trail is 0.2 miles long and was completed in spring 2019.
Country Club Creek Trail Project: Riverside Drive to Oltorf Street
This
project will connect to existing trails to the south and the north, from Riverside Drive to E. Oltorf Street along
Country Club Creek. It will also provide a continuous connection from Roy G Guerrero
Park to Mabel Davis Park.
This
section of Country Club Creek Trail is being developed through the Local
Mobility Program of the 2016 Mobility Bond. The Mobility Bond was approved by voters in November 2016. It
dedicates $26 million for urban trails with a transportation and mobility
purpose.

Country Club Creek Trail Project Process
In late 2014, the City released a Preliminary Engineering
Report. This report shows the recommended route for the new sections of Country
Club Creek Trail. It also lists topics the City needs to consider to build
these new sections, such as environmental concerns, wildlife, nearby property
ownership, and more. See the
Preliminary Engineering Report for Country Club Creek Trail here.
