Riding our bikes on the parks well-maintained biking trails provided an avenue for our family to traverse through diverse landscapes, from rocky terrains to serene riverbanks. We enjoyed the scenery while spending time together in nature.

As the sun set behind the hills, we gathered around the campfire, with marshmallow roasting sticks in hand, we created gooey treats while exchanging stories and laughter together. As the night sky darkened, we enjoyed stargazing with no city lights to take away from the canopy of stars above. McKinney Falls State Park’s remote location ensures an uninterrupted view of the night sky, making stargazing an awe-inspiring experience for the entire family.

The sound of water cascading over rocks, the chirping of birds, and the rustling of leaves become the soundtrack of our weekend escape, creating a relaxing calm amidst the chaos of the world.

McKinney Falls State Park is a place where our dreams of adventure and togetherness came to life. With our trailer as the home base, we hiked, biked, stargazed, and relaxed around campfires, all while surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of nature.
