    McKinney Falls State Park, located within Austin's city limits, offers a blend of natural beauty and outdoor activities. The park features the scenic Onion Creek flowing over limestone ledges into pools, trails winding through the Hill Country woods, and historical sites including an early Texas homestead and an ancient rock shelter. Visitors to the park can enjoy camping, hiking, biking, geocaching, bouldering, and picnicking, along with fishing and swimming in Onion Creek, though it's advised to check creek conditions due to possible flooding.

    Accommodation options include 81 campsites with water and electric hookups and six remodeled cabins, alongside a primitive youth camping area for nonprofit sponsored groups. Nearly nine miles of trails cater to hiking and biking enthusiasts, including the 2.8-mile Onion Creek Hike and Bike Trail with a hard surface ideal for strollers and road bikes. The park also provides an all-terrain wheelchair for enhanced accessibility. While enjoying the diverse activities, visitors are reminded to prioritize safety by staying hydrated and exploring with a companion.
