Getting There Suggest change

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=115373301781539628600.000458134b87a5b287404&ie=UTF8&ll=30.182658,-97.72017&spn=0.014672,0.022058&z=16

Heading South on I-35 exit William Cannon and head east until you dead end into McKinney Falls Pkwy go left and then take another left into the park. Pay at the booth and take your first right, go to the end and park. There's a trail that leads to a opening - walk across the limestone slab to the left. Once at the edge look for the oak tree to get down.
