An intermediate loop hike that features a beautiful waterfall within McKinney Falls State Park
The Homestead Loop hike is a 3.1 mile loop featuring the Lower Falls of McKinney Falls State Park. The hike is pretty intermediate and is mostly shaded. There are not many inclines. It is both dog- and kid-friendly. The trail does cross small streams, so be weary to bring water shoes/sandals.
This is a great trail for nature spotting and for a nice hike. This hike is not handicap accessible.
