“Nice state park, the maps and trails are a little confusing tbh. They encourage you to get the map via a QR code instead of a paper one, and the paper one they do have has less info. But since you’re probably going to lose cellular service you might want to save the map or take a screenshot or something! And there are too many people here who do not have the right etiquette. We saw so much trash including beer cans just thrown into pools of water! And families with children blocking the trail (which crosses the river and is kind of narrow - so you really do need to wait for them to clear the area) plus the children screaming at the top of their lungs with the parents right next to them doing nothing at all. That said, the park is pretty nice and well maintained! Nice restrooms, nice picnic area and playground for children, helpful rangers and although the website suggests you print the day pass out, we showed them the online receipt and they gave us a printed out parking pass for the car Definitely do recommend buying your reservations online as the park fills up, especially on long weekends and holidays. Also ask the rangers for less crowded trails so you don’t have to deal with disrespectful people who don’t follow park rules!”

“McKinney Falls State Park was one of the more lengthy hikes for me hitting up the two big trails: Onion Creek (2.8 miles) and Homestead Trail (3.1 miles) along with other trails too. There were a lot of people at the Upper and Lower Falls where you can swim in the water, but I didn’t have anyone on the trails with me! Between hikes I hopped into the Upper Falls for a refreshing dip. McKinney Falls is right by the airport so not far from Austin. To get to the northern portion of trails, you will have to cross over the falls. You will get wet! The rocks are slick, especially barefoot. I’d recommend bringing some shoes with grip to change into, or just wear throughout if they are good hiking shoes. Nice relaxing place!”
