Happy trails to us

Friday, June 21, 2024 by Elizabeth Pagano

The city’s Urban Trails Program has some fun summer updates, with news that the Austin to Manor Trail is expected to be complete and open this summer. Phase 2 of the trail, which connected Walter E. Long Metropolitan Park to Ben E. Fisher Park, began in April 2023. When finished, the trail will be 5.5 miles long and link up to the Southern Walnut Creek Trail. Travis County Park plans call for it to ultimately connect to the proposed Gilleland Creek Greenway in Pflugerville.

In other urban trail news, Phase 2 of the MoKan Trail is now underway, with an expected completion next month. When complete, the trail will connect the bike path on Pedernales Street to the Walnut Creek System. It is being constructed in five phases, as seen below.
