Amazing place to sit and be quiet, and fishing . Theres a very nice playground for children. Has beautiful scenery and birds to admire. Even has white noise which kind of puts you in a zone of relaxation. The traffic nearby is the white noise.

20 years living in Texas and countless times driving I35 between Dallas and Austin, San Antonio, Laredo & I never knew this trail was here. Very scenic, I’m sure my wife would love to snap some pictures in this surroundings!

Wonderful park with some classic bronze cowboy sculptures and well maintained walkways. The water is wading depth for fishing or water play. Great place for family fun or romantic dates.

Its a round rock in the middle of a river. End of story.But the history of it is what gives it meaning. It was a safe place for people to cross back during the wild would west. You can still see the wagon imprints on the stone river bed.

When family or friends visit, we bring them to the Round Rock and tell the story. Its really nice to walk down the path to Memorial Park and back.

Cool to check out. Walkways along the river. Careful when crossing the road near the Rock, you cant see the cars coming over the hill.

Went here for a walk and my boyfriend and I absolutely loved this park. Cool historical markers with details about The Round Rock and the wartime memorials were interesting to stop and check out. We walked the creek with our shoes off and the wagon wheel ruts still present in the creek bed were a truly awesome piece of history to get to experience together. Also- we happened by a huge crawfish chilling in the lake!

Everyone loves The Rock right!? Cool history marker that’s fun for a short visit. Walk around the beautiful grounds/park and enjoy nature while learning a little about the history of Round Rock. Parking isn’t great so I’d suggest you park behind the businesses adjacent to Brushy Creek. You need to dodge traffic to see The Rock and read the history marker sign.

It seems like an ok spot to visit. It is right off to the side of the road and there is parking nearby. The road is extremely busy and is difficult to attemp to cross. Some neat informational signs kind of scattered around.

A little piece of the old west, right in the middle of the I-35 megalopolis. The wheel ruts from the Chisholm Trails stagecoaches are still visible nearby. A nice and well-maintained walking trail leads downstream from here.Parking is uphill to the south, near the intersection of Chisholm Trail and RM 620

Historic area and landmark, right in the middle of the stream! This is the river crossing for the Old Chisholm Trail going back to the era of the massive cattle drives of the 19th century. The Round Rock is rather underwhelming to look at but it was larger in the 1880s! Nearby are several historic buildings that are still in use, some of the oldest remaining structures in the area. The oldest building is the original stagecoach Inn just south of here on the SW corner of Round Rock Avenue (RM 620) and Chisholm Trail Road. Sadly, the local government is planning to tear it down soon to make way for a 620 freeway that will destroy whats left of the small town feel.
