Link Falls is a set of limestone ledge falls on Bull Creek in northwest Austin. A travel article places it at Bull Creek District Park and calls these ledge falls the biggest in the park, with a swimming hole beside them. The trail is muddy, has many winding paths, and crosses Bull Creek once or twice before the falls. Return the same way. This is a partial guide: the exact starting lot, the trail to follow and the walking distance are not confirmed by an official source, and this listing sits about 1 km north of the park's main area, so the falls may be reached from a greenbelt access point instead.
