Pedernales Falls State Park
Venturing Crew 2020
One of the most enjoyable trips we took was a long weekend
at Pedernales Falls State Park (Texas) where all we did was camp, eat,
hike, swim, play around and repeat again the next day! The Crew sometimes takes a long
weekend to do – nothing.
That’s right – nothing. We camp and eat at a restaurant and
sit by a never-ending campfire and enjoy conversation and nothing more.

Water is the central attraction of many Texas state parks - often just a lake,
with no special interest beyond general fishing, boating and swimming, but Pedernales Falls is much more dramatic. The park
contains 8 miles of the Pedernales River as it meanders through the
limestone hill country of the Edwards Plateau northwest of Austin, and includes the falls where the
waters drop 50 feet over successive limestone layers via an impressive series
of cascades and pools. The river flows through a shallow, rocky canyon with
much pleasant scenery and plenty of places to explore - there are hiking
trails, swimming pools and abundant nature.
