Karst Nature Preserve

Location: 3900 Deer Land in South Austin

The name Karst originally referred to a limestone plateau in Germany, but the word now means any area with limestone rocks, deep fractures, and caves that feed rain water directly into underground lakes and streams.

That's exactly what characterizes this 10-acre preserve over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone.

The preserve features caves, sinkholes, and honeycomb outcroppings along the 1/8-mile trail, a 20-minute, pleasant, winding walk.
