The program for the day is called:
9,000 Years of Water for Hill Country Residents
See one of the city's Water Quality Proection Lands. Docent-guided tours will tell the story of water on this land by interpreting the historic, geologic, and topographic features.
Austin's Water Utility -
Wildland Conservation Division
and
The Hill Country Foundation
Your tour will last about an hour, taking you on a half-mile walk along the creek.
Sensible clothes are recommended and closed toed shoes (no flip-flops or sandals are allowed for your own safety - there are fire ants). A hat, water bottle, and sun screen are also recommended.
Bring your binoculars - you may see the deer (I saw 5 of them on Sunday) or some intersting birds including a Red Tailed Hawk, Mexican buzzards, and song birds.
This is not a park and it is only open to the public with guided tours. Try to car pool. It takes 10 minutes to get there from here, although Park West actually backs up to the property.
