St. Edward's Park: Queer Hike & Swim

Join us for a queer 2-mile hike and swim at St. Edward's Park!

This hike includes elevation gains, rocky terrain, some unshaded stretches of trail, and a super refreshing post-hike dip (as long as there's enough water).

All open-hearted, open-minded humans are welcome! Since this is a sapphic group, we especially welcome queer women+, nonbinary folks, and trans friends. Balcones Canyonlands is a wildlife preserve, so that means pets are not permitted. 🩷

MEET AT THE ST. EDWARD'S GREENBELT MAIN ENTRANCE
The main entrance to the park is located at 7301 Spicewood Springs Rd. The parking lot may be full. If so, park along the road on Spicewood Springs. The road can get busy so be mindful of passing cars and cyclists.

IMPORTANT INFO

• There are no restrooms at the trailhead or anywhere on the trail.
• There is no entrance fee.
• Dogs are welcome to join us.

We’ll introduce ourselves at the beginning of our little get-together, and the swimming hole is about 1.75 miles into our hike. Wear your bathing suit to the hike if you plan to swim!

For each hike, we coordinate carpooling via our Discord group. Please message Courtney or Braxton (organizers) or DM @ATXsapphichikingcrew on Instagram if you’d like to drive or ride and we’ll add you to the Discord group. It's also a good idea to join the group in case you're running late or need help finding us so you can reach out to us on the day of.

We do try to wait for any latecomers but in order to respect everyone's time, we will hit the trail no later than 30 minutes after the posted start time.

See you soon, friends! 🌈
