Went November, was dry as a bone. That’s the be expected, beautiful trail. I recommend lower trails it’s smoother than higher rocky ones.

Fun hike with a couple of falls when there is water but ours was dry. Its pretty rocky but our 3.5 year old was able to do it with help.

Longer trail (not that difficult, though lots of rocks and roots so watch out). When theres water theres plenty of spots to swim, just watch out for snakes! Great footbridge next to mopac to get to it, take the non-ADA off shoot (before the bridge, south end) for some more in the trees feel!

A beautiful place for meditation, you can bring your dog, or just come with your friends, and better to have a date there . My favorite spot at greenbelt

Reservation needed Th through Sunday, but it was empty, obviously no body knows about reservation rules.And, Dont go around this time of the year, this pictures are taken today, literally not even one drop of water, hike was fine, but it was not funny, bring lots of water, star hydrated, we started walking from top, till bottom, then take Uber to the top again, almost 2 hr trail, maybe more, only very small area had water, and it looked dirty.

Had a lot of fun out here with the pups! Barton Creek is mostly dried up this time of year so we walked the creek bed which can be a little slippery after a sprinkle so be careful. Definitely a recommended trail if you haven’t been before. It’s even better when the waters back so you’ll want to return in the spring time for both experiences

This place is a reason to live in Austin! Its different every time I go but always beautiful. Right now its particularlyfull of water and abundant. The waters pretty cold but its clean enough to swim if youre into do that. Such great hiking with sites along the way and beautiful trees everywhere. theres always parking available but it might be a little far from the trailhead. this is my favorite entrance to go just for a hike. To swim I usually go further upstream. What more can you want?

Great place to hike and swim. Kid and dog friendly :) And most importantly, FREE

Just a gorgeous place with amazing views.

Not the right time to visit if you are primarily were attracted by the waterfall etc. Everything is completely dried up. So make decisions accordingly

We had such a great time. The falls are super easy to access. Highly recommend it, especially for young kids. Not too crowded!

This is a ways upstream from where I usually went, but nice all the same. This shot shows this big diff between the rainy season and a drought.

My husband and I had a great time when we actually found twins falls. The water was great, everyone was chill and having a good time. The water was clear and raging. I even saw tadpoles swimming. Its a beautiful natural place to go if you cant make it to Hamilton Pool. You can swum here but Hamilton pool wasnt allowing swimming during our time in Austin eventhough their website said they were.

If it has rained in the past week, the water level should be good. The waterfall is wide, not very tall. The trail was muddy when we went, not very accessible for those less mobile but great for pets! The water is super clear and there are great spots to take photos. There is a nice wooden bench right by the falls with a great view. Serene!Those more daring can climb out onto the rocks and get right by the edge of the fall. It feels like youre a part of it. Quite the experience.

This swimming spot is a great place to cool off in the summer and the hike isnt too hard. After a good rain, its nice to go there and sit in the many waterfalls that spring up. There is a short waterfall that you can jump off and a rope swing.

Really enjoyed the quick hike, clean park, cool outcrops and interesting areas to enjoy nature.

Great free spot to hike/run/walk and swim. Dogs are allowed, be aware that the rocks do get hot so it might hurt their paws. Depending on Texas weather, this place can be in a drought, or full of water. When it is full of water it’s really pretty and water is cold - the water feels amazing in Texas 90-108F weather.Parking: there’s no spot, but you park along the highway, I recommend you try to park under shade but if no shade be prepared to come back to a blazing hot car during summer.Kids: it is not ideal to take a stroller for babies, but a baby carrier/wrap would be best. It is rocky and a little bit of a trek. Make the kids who are going to walk wear tennis shoes and water shoes for the water (there are rocks). THERE ARE NO PUBLIC RESTROOMS.Coolers: Always better to pack light, but coolers are allowed, and if you have a big one, you are warned of the trek (0.5 miles) that goes slightly uphill and downhill. But that shouldn’t discourage you if you plan on drinking, eating and swimming there for a good portion of the day.Music: People do play music here with their speakers and sometimes you’ll have a few try to be louder than the others, and yes, expect certain genres that will have explicit lyrics because college kids and young adults do come here too.Dogs: If your dog is not trained, keep em on a leash. Most dogs are able to run free and get in the water, as usual pick up after your dogs.Restrooms: THERE ARE NONE. Be fully prepared plan your trips to go to nearest store. For number 1 guys are fortunate and can pee just anywhere and for girls i recommend the she wee (or pee device)Swimming: i recommend water shoes for the water, because there are rocks in water. There is a little cliff you can jump off of if you want to jump in from a couple of feet high. It does get packed during summer season, even if you get there early it will be packed.

This place is awesome but I was there yesterday August 9 2019 it was dryed. I dont know the reason but we had to go San Marcos because was the only options.

As of July 30th 2019 it is all dried up with just a couple address with stagnent water. Do unless we get a good rain its really hot with no place to cool off. When its full its so beautiful and great!

Gorgeous . We had quite the pleasnt time here. Its a small hike The scenery along the way beautiful.

️ Walked about 1 hour and it was dry, it’s good doing that hiking & walk w adults but not worth to do it w kids

Relaxing hike. On the short side of things, but you could make it longer if needed. Shaded most of the way. Dry bed in winter. We would come back.

A bit high from the recent rains. Still some good spots to sit in the water and enjoy. Enjoy it while there is still water before the summer heat takes our all away.

Great as always. Such a nice hike followed by good swimming and nice people.

This was my first of many more trips to this location. Once you arrive you are welcomed by a number of hiking paths. You will hike quite a bit but it is well worth your efforts in the end. Initially my group hiked to a mid point along the route and we hung out there for an hour or so. We then hiked up a ways further and relaxed where the water was significantly deeper. The whole vibe of the location was great, everyone was relaxed and having a good time. There were even plenty of 4 legged furbabies enjoying the cool waters. It was definitely wortg the drive in from Houston and I look forward to visiting many more times.

Very relaxing spot. We went there in March and the water was a bit cool for us but there were a few courageous swimmers.Its anyway a good place to hang out and relax.There are lots of trails leading here, so this is a good place to take a break if you like to hike.

Nice views.. must go during summer. Excellent place to go on a hangout with friends.

Beautiful trail, plenty of shade woods, good for a sunny hot day, the Twin Falls/creek was dry as a bone late July-early August 2018.Bittersweet, no swimming, but exposed the pretty rock formations normally concealed by the falls. Sculpture Falls about 20 minutes north had a small pool of water though, was, sweaty & happy to see! The Hill of Life Dam north of Sculpture Falls has even deeper water during dry months, though not quite as open and scenic as the falls areas.

Nestled along the Barton Creek Trail only .4 miles from parking on the side of the MoPac Expressway Frontage Road is a nice swimming hole. Enjoy the fresh water as it is constantly moving. The trail to get here is mostly covered so you get to beat the heat while still enjoying the hike outdoors.

Great trail with great views.

Bring your tenis shoes beacuse there are a lot of rocks.. loved the water

This was a great time and can’t wait for to heat up to go more. It’s a hike luckily my son loves adventures. What great time

Unfortunately it was all mostly dried up, but about a mile 1/2 you get to this swimming area and its rewarding.

Reservoirs has been shut down. It is completely dry

If you are going to hike its awesome and the views are amazing make sure to wear proper shoes for hiking and bring plenty of water to stay hydrated if you are going to see the waterfall make sure theres water first before you go or all you are gonna see is rocks

It was dry when we hiked (3/11/20) but it was enjoyable especially because the weather was cool. Michaels Tree was a great stop.

Water is good to bath only during spring/fall and is seasonal. During summers its very dry n pond looks dirty with stagnant water.Good place to place with family/dogs

Nice walk but check water levels before you go if youre wanting to see the falls!

Beautiful place to spend a weekend

Super freaking awesome place to go, with a little hike to get there. The people there were so kick back and the water felt so awesome. With a dive rock to make big splashes and allot of places for the kids, and everyone brought their dogs and were nice. Sorry for the blurry pics

My getaway spot .. I can be there for hours and not even think about time

I love it! But a long walk

The most amazing swimming area in Austin hands down

Best natural spot inside the City.

The falls were.. not as exciting as Id hoped. Also, couldnt cross the river. Pretty walk though

Honestly, a more intense hike than I thought (not bad I just didnt expect it and we had 4 huge inner tubes with us). Enjoyed just floating a little. We initially wanted to keep hiking to the next swimming are as parts of this one were a little crowded, but we just went a little past the large stone area and found a nice & deep open spot to float.

A great place to bring your family and dogs. Theres plenty of shade so its nice even on hot days in the summer. I would bring canvas chairs but nothing more than a backpack cooler. Theres a pretty rocky trail to get to the falls so you cant really pull a wheeled cooler, youll end up having to carry it most of the way.

Loved the experience! Its a hike to get to this little place so wear proper shoes! Also this is mother nature so be aware of the critters.

One of the coolest nature spots! Must see!

Beautiful place... Pick up your trash or do not come at all. Seriously ;)

Currently dry river. But good hike.

The trail to get to this place is awesome. Not too hard that kids cant do and enjoy.

Beautiful place but the creek was all dried up. Still a nice hike.

This place rocks even if theres no water. It tricky to find the little cave but its entrance is along the trail in off the edge of the cliff. Try to find it

Beautiful, everyone is friendly and theres a lot of sun and water to go around.

Wonderful short hike. The dogs had a nice swim too.

Well theres no water to speak of, but the hike down the Greenbelt to get there is my preferred cardio.

Good hike... but there is NO water falls. Maybe years ago or after heavy rains.

Even though the water was dried up it was a nice change being outside hiking with my kids they seemed to have a ton of fun

Crowded summer weekends, try to visit early or on a weekday to avoid distant parking and crowded trails

Apparently you can make people reserve this but it’s a public place

Gorgeous trail. Go a couple days after it rains for clear water.

Great outdoor location! Definitely stop by if you’re in Austin and wana go somewhere outdoors!

A beautiful short hike about .4 miles to get to them. Its beautiful and very relaxing.

The best part about Austin.. period

I visited when it was pretty flooded, so the trail was muddy, but the falls were particularly neat.

Amazing place for hike !!!

Been coming here for 18 years, water levels are decent right now. Love it here

This was a hiking adventure for my daughter and I. It took me back in time to when I was a young adult coming here to swim. Unfortunately, it is dry as a bone right now. I wish there were a way to keep it full year round.

What falls? The place is dry!!!Maybe is a seasonal thing but not even the locals that we ask where aware of that and everyone came to the same surprise as us.We where told that there was water 3-5 miles upstream.

When theres water, its GORGEOUS and refreshing here! Not stroller or wheelchair accessible. Rocky, but manageable. My boys were 1 & 4 our first time there and they both walked all the way down and back up just fine. I used an Ergo Carrier for the little one when hes been tired, or if he falls asleep. All you really need is a swimsuit a water bottle and your towel. Snacks optional! Oh, and please pick up after yourself. Lets keep the trail and creek clean and enjoyable for all ️

So the spring ran dry. No water there right now. So we hiked with our 2 kids only to find no water. Big bummer. Hike was nice, but no waterfalls or water at all.

It was dry a week ago but we assisted in remedying that .. Rain man rituals are Real!

Great place to relax so close to Austin. Would go here again. Very clean.

We love this place. Currently though, the water is practically gone. Even so its still a great hike and exploration spot with shaded trails.

Gorgeous views

Went on a perfect day during the week. It was very relaxing and not a ton of people was very nice

So wonderful! Breath taking views even though the water is dry...

We were here about 2 months ago and it was awesome. Water was amazing and the falls were mesmerizing. Came back to visit for Labor Day weekend and it all dried up

Enjoy the tranquility of the park getting away from the hustle and bustle busy Austin

Not quite a fallsIts pretty cool to climb around, but there is no water in it right now. Hopefully we get a good rain and it will be a nice sight.

A great place to hangout on the greenbelt, if you want a crowded spot with a ton of people and action this is the spot for you.For more chill vibes keep hiking down! But with a group of people Twin Falls is a grand way to spend an afternoon.

Dry river bed in January. Still a nice walk.

Dried up right now but still so beautiful

Great hiking path. Bring your bathing suit so you can take a dip in the beautiful clear creek. Dog friendly. Just so beautiful and relaxing

I really enjoy the entire green belt. I try and bike it every week depending on soil saturation. Hiking wont matter the weather, but if youre planning on biking, be sure to go on dry days. There are a lot of rocky paths that become slick when wet and traction is a real issue with tires.Gorgeous scenic paths next to the creek (I consider it a river because of flow and width of creek, to each their own) with plenty of scenic photo opportunities.I find it awesome to go here during the summer because if you get hot or overheat on the trails, you can just take a dip in the river to cool off at any point of your hike/biking sortie.Very popular attraction for not only locals but tourists as well. It can become congested during the summer and hotter part of spring so prepare for stop and go on trail riding to yield for hikers. People are usually really good about yielding for bikes so you dont lose momentum but some arent so good about it.

I came after it rained a lot, a whole lot, and you could barely see the falls!

No waterOctober 11

Nice hike but a bit disappointed that mother nature was uncooperative and there was no water.

What a gem this place is with or without water!!!

Nice place and free cant complain.

Beautifull scenery, water was just right, one thing i do not recommend is taking a cooler with wheels, the hiking terrain will make it hard 2 pull cooler threw! Recommend a backpack cooler

It was fun and amazing

What I hated about today was the lack of information on the website, about how in August there is no falls, there never had been a falls in August in my 35 years here. This is not a kid friendly pass for hiking. I saw kids falling and crying. So if you are not ready to carry them and your cooler pick another place. The fall and spring is beautiful here and coolers are still a problem. The website also needs to inform families that it is about a mile downhill on a rock filled trail to get to the water. Someone may get seriously hurt if they are not prepared for this.

Usually there isnt as much water here as Sculpture Falls, but after a good amount of rain like this week, its just as great of a place and less of a walk too!

The water levels change drastically with rain so the falls aren’t always running over! The hike is gorgeous but the steep up and down from the parking lot so be careful if you have any disabilities or children! An amazing summer swim spot!

Dried to the Bottom on October

It was a good hike a little congested at the start of the trail. Rocky uneven terrain. The creek was completely dry as far as 1/4 mile past Twin Falls.

Wonderful place! Just dried up in the summer so check before the walk down

It is very family oriented and dog friendly if your looking for a place to cool down and relax with family and friends its the place to do it only thing I dont like its kinda hard to find parking but overall the experience has always been good
