Prairie Creek Waterfall — Attraction in Richardson

Prairie Creek Waterfall is a beautiful, peaceful escape that's well worth the trip. We visited in the afternoon, and the trail was lush and green, offering a serene walk.

​A key tip for parking: skip the main spots and try the nearby neighborhood streets. While the first few houses have "no parking" signs, if you go a bit deeper into the neighborhood, the residents are much friendlier. We found a great spot right in front of the fifth house, and it saved us a lot of hassle.

​The trail itself is in excellent condition and perfect for a post-lunch stroll. We saw several people enjoying the scenery with their dogs, including what looked like a high school girl on a dog-walking side gig, which was pretty cool to see. It’s definitely a dog-friendly spot, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming.

The trail leading to the waterfall is phenomenal, well-maintained, scenic, and just challenging enough to feel like an adventure without being overwhelming. Along the way, you’re treated to stunning views, peaceful forest sounds, and fresh, crisp air that makes the journey just as rewarding as the destination.
