The waterfall will be at its most beautiful when there is water flowing into the river

Definitely one of the most beautiful views in the area!

The Covert family donated this land to Travis County in 1939, making it a cherished public land. Very popular among the locals, the park offers a short but scenic hike with limestone steps leading to the summit. Enjoy the fresh air and diverse vegetation along the way.

Standing at 775 feet above sea level, Mount Bonnell offers panoramic vistas of Austin, Lake Austin, and the surrounding Texas Hill Country. The limestone slopes are home to a variety of native Texas plants, including Ashe juniper, plateau live oak, mountain laurel, and persimmon trees. This is a very popular spot, even the 1991 cult classic film "Slacker" features a scene filmed at the summit of Mount Bonnell.

The greenway is a restored Texas blackland prairie, promoting native plants and attracting diverse wildlife. This creates a mini ecosystem in the heart of the city. There are several educational signs about the area's ecology and the importance of preserving native habitats.

Mueller Lake occupies the former runway of the historic Mueller Airport, which served Austin from 1928 to 1999. After the airport closed, the entire area underwent a massive redevelopment project, transforming the former industrial land into a vibrant mixed-use community. Mueller Lake was created as a centerpiece of this new urban district.

Nice waterfall along the trail, you probably have to take off your shoes. Very slippery!

It's hard to compare the upper and lower falls in the park to each other. While it is a little bit small, McKinney Lower Falls is no less impressive than its larger counterpart. You have the opportunity to get wet here if you want.
