Great park that I have visited many times. My dog loves it. Easy 90-minute drive from metro Austin. It's probably best known for the falls, but it's a large park with a variety of different trails and diverse terrain. A few things to know:

1. Very limited cell service.

2. By mid/late summer, the river and falls can be virtually dry. Best viewed in winter and spring.

3. In my experience, the booth at the entrance gate is usually closed. Entrance fees are required, and the Rangers office is a few miles. I usually book online and print the pass to put on my dash.

There's an ostrich farm as you approach Bend just a few miles from the park. We always stop if the ostriches are hanging out. They seem just as interested in us!
