The Great Outdoors

If you're thinking of exploring the Austin area, take the hour's drive down to the Barton Creek Greenbelt in your Harker Heights RV rental. This diverse area just outside of the state capital is a great place to relax. Cool off swimming, tubing, or kayaking in the creek or take a stroll and spot some of the local wildlife. The park is also popular with cavers, being home to Airmen's Cave, the longest cave in Travis County at two miles long. If you would like to visit the cave, it has scheduled openings with guided exploration tours. Large limestone cliffs provide climbing areas, while there are also plenty of trails for bikers and hikers.

McKinney Falls State Park is another park in the Austin area that's well worth a visit in your Harker Heights camper rental. Extending over more than 700 acres, the park was created on land originally owned by Thomas McKinney, one of Austin's first 300 colonists. You can still see remnants of his home, gristmill, and horse trainer's cabin from the early 1850s in the park today. The entire area was an ancient seabed some 80 million years ago, and the park's main attractions, the Upper and Lower Falls, are the result of uneven drops in this prehistoric sea floor. The area is home to a wide variety of wildlife including deer, armadillos, and bobcats. So, if you decide to take one of the park's trails, keep an eye out for the local residents. You can also go fishing or swimming in Onion Creek, or stay overnight at the park's RV campground. Biking, geocaching, and bouldering are other popular park activities.

A little under two hours' drive in your Harker Heights motorhome rental brings you to the Enchanted Rock State Natural Area located near Fredericksburg.

You may also be able to visit the store and snack trailer, depending on the season. Check the park's up and coming events to sign up for a ranger-led tour to find out more about the area and its wildlife.
