    Tips

    Onion Creek flows through the heart of the McKinney Falls State Park and boasts the Upper and Lower falls after which that park is named. It's home to various species, including the alligator snapping turtle and the red-eared slider. You have to cross the creek if you decide to hike the Homestead Trail so water shoes are a good idea.

      You should be careful when walking barefoot through the water, or you'll just get wet :-)
