McKinney Falls State Park is located on Onion Creek in Austin, Texas. In October 2013, there was a flash flood. The creek rose 42 feet. The destruction was evident in the park by the downed trees and trees that were bent by the flow of water. The park officials are still cleaning up and making repairs from the damage caused by the flash flood.
May 14-19, 2014: We enjoyed many things in this park and in Austin including...our shaded campsite #78, biking and hiking on many trails throughout the park, watching the egrets and great blue herons nesting in the canopy of the trees growing along Onion Creek, large turtles swimming and basking in the sun, relaxing in the waterfalls, a haircut at Aziz Salon, lunch at Hut's Hamburgers....root beer float and the best gluten free bun I've eaten, grocery shopping at Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, and worshipping at Christ Lutheran Church. Austin is located in what Texans call the Hill Country. We are amazed by the the wild, blooming plants that cover the land.
