About Brushy Creek Regional Park

 

Brushy Creek Regional Park is a 659-acre green space located in Cedar Park, Texas, adjacent to the rapidly growing Austin metropolitan area. The park is characterized by gently rolling terrain with a mix of forested areas, open fields, and Brushy Creek running through it. The ecology includes native Texas oaks, junipers, and native grasses that support local wildlife such as white-tailed deer, various songbirds, and small mammals. Brushy Creek Regional Park provides a natural retreat close to urban centers, offering visitors a chance to experience nature without traveling far. Established to protect local green space while promoting outdoor recreation, the park features an extensive network of multi-use trails used for hiking, jogging, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Fishing is popular along Brushy Creek, as the waterway supports sunfish and bass species. Notable landmarks include the Brushy Creek Trailhead and several scenic overlooks along the trail system.
