Tonkawa Falls City Park

Lovely place to visit in Crawford Texas. Restrooms available as well as a building/ gazebo with tables. Be careful if you have small kids as the cliffs doesn't have any barrier to protect them from falls.

Great little hidden spot with very low volumes of people, at least at this time of year. Restrooms are available on site, so you can make a day of it. Nice hiking along the creek, a beautiful waterfall, and fantastic bouldering spots for people of various skill levels.

We absolutely love it here! We went for the second time March 2024, water was freezing but we had a blast!! Beautiful water, could stay here all day.

Blown away by the natural beauty! Such a peaceful place to relax.

$10 Parking gets split between the city and the organization enforcing the parking.

A great swimming hole with many different spots for jumping into the water BUT be aware if it's been desert dry for about a month the water level may be low.

I walked under the bridge where the falls comes out and around the most popular areas for jumping. Plenty of shady trees and bring some towls to dey off.

Great time I stay there every year.

This hidden gem had a beautiful waterfall that feeds into a cliff lined pool. A CCC style pavilion above the clouds looks down at the tranquil setting.

We lived in Crawford years ago. Came back to visit friends and walk down memory lane. Just as beautiful as I remembered.

Tonkawa Falls located in Crawford, TX is a semi perennial, spring-fed waterfall that empties in to a small pond. During hot days, many people come here to swim and jump off the rocks. There are even nearby rock carvings a little further upstream from the waterfall. I'm not sure of history or the authenticity of said carvings, but I definitely recommend visiting if nearby.

We went in the middle of August and it was completely dried up for the most part. It was still cool to check out and definitely would go back if I am in the area.

Beautiful little place, very scenic falls, and it looks like a cool place to swim.

Absolutely beautiful place. You will find rocks with your knees so walk carefully

This is such a great park!

A very well maintained park. Though it was busy it was a very pleasant time

What a wonderful hidden gem! We never thought something like this would be found in the middle of Crawford, Texas! Wow!

Great, peaceful, and scenic place to relax and/or have a picnic.

We stopped by in the winter time (January) and it was a little chilly! We just walked around admiring the view! It was gorgeous to see! I hear that the locals love this place. There is a lot of signs that are posted with no swimming, but I am not sure if that’s a winter time thing or what. We love it. If you have kids, make sure they’re aware that there’s Cliff-like ledges and steep fall risks. Overall Its totally worth going to and you won’t regret it!

I have enjoyed Tonkawa since I was a kid. It has been well improved over the years.

Lovely small place, usually not very crowded

Great family park to enjoy the quiet nature!
