 Country Club Creek Trail offers a peaceful retreat in a densely populated area of Austin |
Description: Country Club Creek Trail will ultimately be a three mile hike and bike trail running from Guerrero Colorado River Park down to Mabel Davis Park.
The first one mile of the trail has been built from Krieg Fields through Guerrero Park.The trail is the project of Southeast Austin Trails and Greenways, an all volunteer group. They have received grants from Austin Parks Foundation and Spansion to fund materials and tool rentals.
You can expand the map below to get a detailed view of the trail.
The CCC Trail has now been cleared from the Town Lake Trail to the end of Elmont Road east of Wickersham. The next section of the Trail runs on Wickersham between Elmont and Riverside Drive. South of Riverside Drive the Trail will run in the Country Club Creek easement of the apartment complexes along the Creek. The group is now working with PARD to obtain those easements.

Malcolm Yeats reports on the November Austin Parks Foundation Park-of-the-Month event at Country Club Creek:
November 17 was the most productive work day SEATAG has ever had. There were 275 Austin Community College students, a group from Central Texas Trail Tamers, and a crew from Community Court. The students started showing up at 8 AM, and by 9 AM we were dispatching our first groups to various areas of the trail, supervised by Trail Tamer members. We had shovels, rakes, wheel barrows and loppers from Austin Parks Foundation, Keep Austin Beautiful, and the Parks Department. Jim Temple rented a roller compactor, and the Parks Department allowed us to store it over the weekend at their Central Maintenance Facility at Lakeshore and Pleasant Valley. This made delivery, arrival at the trail, and pickup very easy. Gayle Goff picked up a smaller compactor that we used south of the low water crossing.
We had four different groups working spreading road base. One group started from the Lakeshore entrance, one from the Krieg entrance, one started going south from the low water crossing. Ray Brown used the Bobcat to ferry base across the low water crossing, and Community Court volunteers used wheel barrows to haul it. There were a total of 28 dump truck loads of road base delivered.
In addition to the road base crews, there were numerous smaller groups with trash bags cleaning up the transient camps along the trail. Some of the more ambitious groups went down to the creek and fished out huge truck tires and shopping carts. One large group attacked the bamboo forest that was beginning to encroach on the trail near the Krieg entrance. By the time they were done, they had cut a wide swath from the trail through to the road.
The students finished at noon and assembled at the ball field for well deserved pizza and a rock band. Some of the students cutting the bamboo really got into the spirit, and we practically had to pry the loppers out of their hands. Jim was still driving the roller along the trail late in the afternoon.
SEATAG is grateful for the amazing amount of work accomplished by the ACC students, the Central Texas Trail Tamers for helping us to organize the work, and also for Charlie McCabe and the Austin Parks Foundation for arranging this event.
Beginning on January 7, 2008, Austin Parks Foundation has contracted Carl Brockman of Natural Texas began working on thinning trees between the trail west to Pleasant Valley Road and Kreig Fields. Carl uses a Forestry Mower which can cut down trees and mulch them on site. We are focusing on removing the invasive species - Chinaberries, bamboo and ligustrum, as well as all of the downed trees and brush that have built up over time. The goal is to keep both small and large good quality trees, begin restoring native plants, trees and grasses, and to reduce the amount of illegal dumping that plagues this portion of the trail and neighboring Guerrero-Colorado River Park. We expect this project to take up to 3 weeks.
