The
Upper Falls on Onion Creek
This park was our last stop on our way home. It’s at the SE
corner of Austin, TX.
If you’re looking for some nature while visiting the state
capital, this would be your place. Just be aware the park is still recovering
from the widespread flooding experienced by the state of Texas in 2016. The
campgrounds and bathrooms are fine. But the visitor’s center is still being
repaired, and a trail below the upper falls was washed out. You can still visit
the falls on Onion Creek, though. There are also several other trails,
including one to the horse trainer’s cabin. The park is named after an early
Texas settler who originally owned the land where it’s located. Since we were at
the end of a two-month trip, our explorations were kept closer to the campsite.
From what we saw, it’s a pretty park. We’re certainly willing to return at a
later date.
