Running
Onion Creek flows through the heart of the McKinney Falls State Park and boasts the Upper and Lower falls after which that park is named. It's a glorious companion on a run. It's home to various species, including the alligator snapping turtle and the red-eared slider.

Mountain biking
Onion Creek runs through the heart of McKinney Falls State Park and supplies the area's riparian and wetland environments. The waterfalls in the park are the reason most people visit, but the creek itself is a spectacle with lots of rapids, cascades, and canyons along with the waterfall spots.
