The main public access is the one off of Capitol of Texas HWY (360). There’s parking but not a lot. It’s a hike, but you can get to the falls. The other entrances are tricky and in residential neighborhoods. There is info online including a map. I advise going on a werkday when it’s less crowded. It’s extremely popular.

I would have to drive to the access point. It is off MOPAC on the Southside of the lake. You can take 2222 to Loop 360 and you are there where is crosses. A better choice would be the hike and bike trail around Zilker if you are on foot. Hike along Barton Creek as far as it goes. McKinney Falls State Park is great as well. Go out Burleson Road and is on your right about five miles. You need a car for that one. Austin has lots of green

Obviously depends on your pace. Today my husband & I hiked from west end to about 10 min past the MOPAC bridge & then back up... not getting over to Zilker... That was 6.7 miles round trip & 2 1/2 hrs with 427’ elev change. Up & down Scottish Woods access is a challenge, making the rating moderate to difficult.
