Nice variety of ecosystems, including cedar woods, hardwood forest, and prairie, as well as some lake views. Some up and down, but not so distractingly strenuous. There was almost no one else on the trail. Well marked and generally in good shape, like a number of other LCRA parks we've visited.
It's not perfectly clear whether hikers are allowed on the biking trails, but we eventually decided that, yes, they are, and no one yelled at us, so apparently it was all good. Be sure to bring small bills, as the fee is collected via honor system, and you have to have the correct amount.
Saw a lot of nice lichens.

I found this hike to be much more difficult than I anticipated,especially since I haven't been in hillcountry in so very long, but it was serene and just about perfect. I was passed several times by mountain bikers, but other than that, I was in complete solitude for hours at a time. I'm not sure how difficult more accomplished hikers would find this trail, but it took a lot out of me to finish the longer trail. I want to go back again after I've upped my game and do it again though!
fairly nondescript hike in forest next to lake

Lots of mountain bikers, but we were the only hikers. The countryside was nice enough, but nothing spectacular. Maybe it's nicer when the lake isn't as low as it was when we hiked it.. Muleshoe Bend is more of a place to fish and swim than a place to hike.

Muleshoe Bend has an 8 mile trail of singletrack built by and for mountain bikers. Not a good place to hike, because you'll be runover. There is a picnic area by Lake Travis, however.
