Onion Creek Hike and Bike Trail, McKinney Falls State Park

McKinney Falls State Park is a natural getaway within city limits, located ten miles southeast of the Texas Capitol. Camping, hiking trails, and one of Texas' greatest waterfalls may all be found in this large state park.

McKinney Falls State Park has over nine miles of trails, with the Onion Creek Hike-and-Bike Trail acting as the main connection between them all. The Onion Creek Trail, which includes a stretch at Upper Falls on Onion Creek, circles the park in just under three miles. When the weather is nice, Upper Falls is a favorite site for swimming and fishing. The trail has a hard surface and is appropriate for hiking, biking, and stroller-pushing. The Onion Creek Trail has several extensions, including a northern trail network that passes through Lower Falls and the McKinney Homestead.
