"Once you get here and you park, you can immediately see parts of an old aircraft that's recognizing the joint naval airbase that's nearby. And if you keep going as far as you can you'll find our waterfall feature that kind of ends the park," said Dustan Compton, Trinity Regional Water District's conservation manager.
Besides being one of the largest natural waterfalls in Tarrant County, the area is also home to important native wildlife and monarch butterflies that stop by as they migrate to and from Mexico."We have two creeks that flow through this park -- Farmers Branch and Kings Branch and they come together in the middle of the park and as it flows through it goes over the waterfall and eventually it flows into the Trinity River," said Compton.
Getting to the waterfall is a unique experience — you can walk, run or bike — while enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. "People frequent it every day, and they come here and take wedding pictures and they take people who are expecting pictures, they have picnics here, a lot of people swim here, but we come, just for the peacefulness," said Dottie Joseph who was visiting Airfield Falls with her dog."He loves to walk in the falls.
