Very cool place. My husband and I took our little dog. Great little hike. Not much water...either didn’t travel far enough or just hasn’t been any rain. Did stumble upon this weird cult like set up area in the middle of the woods. Interesting...I would be curious if anyone knew what it was. Mostly shaded. Very wooded in some places...you get the option of staying on a paved trail vs wooded rocky trail. It was a blast!

known mostly for it's pool Balcones District Park is also a very nice place to go for a walk or bike ride. One note the park is open from 5 am until 10 pm pool hours may be different. from the parking lot if you take the single track trail past the picnic area and pool towards the high walled viaduct this will lead to the best part of the trails. once past the viaduct and into the woods this becomes a magical place especially if the creek is flowing. Yes this trail follows a sometimes dry branch of Walnut Creek. 1st time Quincy and I went it was dry but still very scenic and an excellent 3 mile loop. The bluebonnets were in bloom and it was beautiful walking through 100 yards of bluebonnets at the end of our walk. The second time the creek was flowing after 3 inches of rain had fallen and although parts of the trail were flooded there were trails to get you by these areas. This also had the water fall flowing and it is quite stunning for a little place like this probably a 15 foot drop. The first time we went we walked out to the MOPAC frontage road turned around and went back. The second time we went I found that if you turn left on the frontage road cross the bridge the trail continues to wind down the hill and under the MOPAC. This will eventually lead all the way to the huge walnut Creek Metro park so a whole day of hiking could easily be realized here. Great little park with a ginormous swimming pool.!
