BIG NEWS! Thanks to the expert guidance of Alta Planning + Design, Great Springs Project is pleased to present the Great Springs Trails Plan for the proposed spring-to-spring network of trails from the Alamo to the Capitol. This plan is a living document that serves as a resource to begin mapping and planning the Great Springs Trail by the Texas Bicentennial in 2036. Sections of the trail will likely be built in phases, with the order of phases depending on key factors such as funding, landowner negotiation, establishing right-of-way, permitting, design, and construction. The #GreatSpringsTrail will connect San Antonio, Austin, and the communities between, linking San Antonio Springs, Comal Springs, San Marcos Springs, and Barton Springs. Some portions of the trail are already built, like sections of the Violet Crown Trail in Austin and the Dante Trail in San Marcos’ Purgatory Creek Natural Area. In other places, trail alignments have been planned by local communities, or have alignments that are still to be determined. The GSP Team looks forward to presenting additional updates and resources as we begin the implementation process of the Great Springs Trail.

Together, we'll create one spring-to-spring trail from San Antonio to Austin
关于我们
Great Springs Project is working to create a greenway of contiguous protected lands between Austin and San Antonio over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone. This green corridor will be connected by a network of spring-to-spring trails, linking four of Texas' Great Springs; Barton Springs, San Marcos Springs, Comal Springs, and San Antonio Springs. Great Springs Project envisions unifying existing local efforts to address the most critical water, land, wildlife, and public health challenges facing the Central Texas region.
