About Tonkawa Falls City Park

Situated along East 4th Street in Crawford, Tonkawa Falls City Park offers visitors a serene and scenic outdoor retreat. Holding an impressive 4.4-star rating from 582 Google reviews, this park is celebrated as a peaceful hidden gem for families and nature lovers. Guests can take in calming views, explore the amazing caves, and admire the park's scenic cliff. A brief hike leads travelers along the area, highlighting the centerpiece waterfall that rushes as a voracious yet pretty natural display.

The falls become a particularly fun destination during the summer, where the rushing water forms a slide and a shaded grotto to cool under. The beautiful landscape also provides a lovely setting for capturing memorable photographs. Visitors should note a couple of practical amenities and physical conditions before planning a day trip: there are no public changing rooms available for day visitors, and the natural rock edges can make climbing out of the water somewhat difficult. Even so, this tranquil Crawford destination remains a wonderful local spot to enjoy nature.

Nice little hidden gem. The waterfall created a fun little slide and grotto to cool under. The only downsides are if you are just a day visitor there’s no public changing rooms and the rock edges make it kind of difficult to climb out.

My husband and I visited May 29 2025. We did not encounter any paid parking. It was secluded and peaceful. We didn't drive around extensively to find any public restrooms. The rv park has one which was locked. The water is not blue anywhere we visited but it was still beautiful. We would visit again to have a quiet picnic, walk along the trail etc.
