Directions: 183 South towards Lockhart. 'Bout 1.5 miles past Hwy 71 turn right on McKinney Falls Parkway. Park entrance is about 3 miles on the right.
Trail Description: Easy / Intermediate. The McKinney Falls Homestead trail is an easy three mile loop across the creek from the parking area. Most of the trail twists and turns through the woods and then climbs up the hill to the back side of the park. There is a fun little whoop-de-do and a quick downhill run back to the creek. Most people ride counter-clockwise starting at the homestead, but this trail is NOT one way. This is a good trail for kids and beginner riders but has enough twists and dips to still be fun for the quicker intermediate riders. This is the trail ARR uses for the Kid Trips program and there are always hikers in the park so yield the trail to slower users. Upstream from the Upper Falls take a right turn off the paved path onto the singletrack that runs along Onion Creek. This trail follows the creek to a lava flow. Cross William Cannon on the Longhorn Pipeline easement, cross the creek for five more miles of trail in Onion Creek District Park and Greenbelt.
