Williamson County is planning a new trail to connect neighborhoods, a school and a sports complex. The Lake Creek Trail is an approximately 1.16 mile trail that will run through southwest Williamson County along Lake Creek connecting Parmer Lane to Broadmeade Avenue, crossing through the Town and Country Optimist Fields.

Williamson County will build a portion of the trail, while the other approximately 1,750 feet will be built by a private developer but remain open to the public. The primarily concrete trail will include one free-span pedestrian bridge and two low water crossings. The trail runs along the Lake Creek Channel, a flood control project of Williamson County completed in 2003. The project includes a trailhead with 20 parking spaces and park benches situated on 13 acres recently acquired by the county. An initial trail master plan was completed in 2003.

BWM Group has been hired to design the trail, bid and oversee construction of the project. The trail will take approximately six to eight months to build and is estimated to cost $593,276. It primarily will be funded by Capital Metro/Build Greater Austin fund with additional funding coming from county park bond funds approved in 2000.
