Theres clean restrooms and showers here. Theres only a 30 amp charger so if youre looking for a 50 amp RV charger there isnt any. Reservation is required. The water is nice and cool not cold. Just remember if you want to jump down on the cliff be sure you know where to swim for the next available rock.

A very beautiful place, It was fun to swim, and it was fun to just sit by the falls.

Kids enjoyed swimming in the creek. There is a lot of wildlife in the water so it smells (fish, turtles, even snakes!) just ha e to be careful to catch for snakes in summer time.

Absoloutely amazing. Park is clean and well kept. Staff are very nice, and the hiking trails are easy to navigate. The falls are absolutely breath taking. Water was clear.

Beautiful place but to get good shots, you have to go off trail and cross a creek, your shoes might get wet. Otherwise youre kind of standing up and over the falls. When its dry there isnt much water for the falls but it was still relaxing and a cool little area!

Were from San Antonio and try to visit all of the nearby State parks and areas. This park is a must visit because it is so unique from the other parks. It made for a great date and we plan to bring the kids back to see it.

The upper falls was fun to watch people jumping into the water. Theres a small drop as the creek starts flowing that the kids enjoyed going over. It was stated online that dogs werent allowed in the water but other people had theirs in there. Wish wed have brought our pup anyway.

This is a beautiful little gem, hidden in Austin, but there may not be much to the falls when the water isnt flowing as muchStill worth the trip and a great place to relax for a while.

Would be great when it rains, but still has slight falls. There are big swimming areas to enjoy. Although because people dont clean up their mess there is trash everywhere. People have no respect.

This park is really nice. Its 6 dollars to get in, but they have lots of amenities and the hiking trails are well maintained. You can camp, fish, walk your dog, or picnic with the family. The falls can be very crowded in the early afternoon, so my advice would be to go early.

It was a great place to play in the water and stay cool in the hot sun. Just beware of thieves, my wife had her ankle bracelet and toe ring stolen out of her bag. Our stuff was out of our sight for a short time, so it is our own fault, but learn from us and dont bring any valuables to the falls.

Im sure when the water levels are high this is a great place to come visit. It was mid/late summer when I went. The water levels were low, it smelled like fish fu€k... I felt bad for the people swimming. That said I could see how it would be nice if the water was higher and moving a through a lot faster.

Great spot just outside of Austin, near COTA, for a short hike and a dip in the wading hole. Two main swimming areas although there are lots of little spots where you can wade around or put down a beach chair in the water

A great park with good amenities. The falls arent very big but the area around the falls is beautiful. Theres a lot of picnic tables, but on weekends Id get there early to make sure you get one in the shade. The rock overhangs are very beautiful. The park was amazingly clean when I went.

Beautiful. Some water to cross so be prepared if you came to hike and you want to explore the rocks and falls. Lots of fun for our family of teens.

Im not from the area, but were checked the falls out while were were there. Somewhat small water fall. Not super impressive, although perhaps there are times when the river flow is heavier and its more impressive. Cant say I have any desire to return. Cute park though.
