Top Things to Do at Pedernales Falls State Park

There are a lot of great Texas State Parks near our Hill Country Bed and Breakfast, but one of our favorites is Pedernales Falls State Park. Here, you'll find some of the most unique and beautiful scenery in Texas Hill Country. Flowing through the heart of Pedernales Falls State Park is the Pedernales River, which is reason enough to visit the park.

However, there's more than just the beautiful falls and the enticing river to enjoy at Pedernales Falls State Park. There are also scenic trails winding through the surrounding forests and ridges, offering visitors various ways to explore the beauty of the park. Here are the top things to do at Pedernales Falls State Park:

• Take the 0.5-mile trek on the Twin Falls Nature Trail and stop at the scenic overlook over the falls. It's a stunning view—just keep in mind that swimming is not allowed at the falls.

• Hikers won't want to miss the Juniper Ridge Trail, which is just under 9 miles long. It’s a great way to explore the unique terrain of Pedernales Falls State Park. There are plenty of other hiking trails to explore as well.

• On the warmest days, take the short hike to the swimming area and relax on the sandy beach. The river can be turbulent at times, but it’s typically peaceful and a great place to cool off. You can also tube, kayak, or canoe on the river.

• There are additional swimming areas in the park, especially if you take the Wolf Mountain Trail. This challenging trail wraps around Tobacco and Wolf Mountains, and there, you'll find Arrowhead Pool, where Bee Creek spills into stair-stepped pools.

• If you enjoy spectacular sunsets (and who doesn’t?), take one of the Overlook Trails in Pedernales State Park and enjoy the vibrant display of color set against the park's stark white cliffs.

• Given the park's remote location, it's also an excellent spot for nighttime photography and stargazing.

• Mountain biking enthusiasts can enjoy the trails at Pedernales Falls State Park, including the Juniper Ridge Trail mentioned earlier.
