Now Playing: Hairy Man Road
Topic: Round Rock
Hairy Man Road, or Harry Mann Road, is now known as Brushy Creek Road. As the two spellings of the original name suggest, there are two different stories about the name.

The first says that there used to be an unidentified hairy man who roamed the vicinity, a la Lancelot, who went loony toons and ran wild in the woods for several years after the thing with Guinevere didn't work out. The second is that a man by the name of Harry Mann originally owned the property through which the road runs.

There used to be a low water crossing, so low it was almost a ford across the creek. It made for a beautiful view, but, as folks regularly wound up in the water because there was a very sharp turn onto it, it was eventually replaced with a bridge.

The overhanging trees, chuckling creek, and fern-encrusted bluff make it arguably the prettiest drive in Round Rock
