Review:
Only 13 miles from the Texas State Capitol is McKinney Falls State Park, where you can hike, camp, bike, geocache, rock climb, fish, swim, and picnic. You can also sit on the bank of Onion Creek and watch its waters fall over limestone ledges into cool, clear pools. You can bike or hike almost nine miles of trails.
Take the 2.8-mile Onion Creek Trail if you are pushing a stroller, as this trail is paved. Hikers can take the Rock Shelter Trail to see early visitors' camps. Drop your fishing line into Onion or Williamson Creeks, visit the ruins of an early Texas homestead, or stay in one of 81 campsites.
