McKinney Falls State Park

$ · Austin, Texas

Proof you don't have to leave the city limits to find real Hill Country. Just 13 miles from the Capitol, Onion Creek slides over broad limestone ledges into swimming holes at the Upper and Lower Falls, and nearly nine miles of trail wind past a 19th-century homestead and an old Native American rock

Try: Wading and swimming at the Upper Falls on Onion Creek after the Onion Creek Trail loop
