I absolutely love this place. The first time I came was about 20 years ago. My 11 year old and I went over the weekend and had a great time. Its very much a choose your adventure type of place. You can walk down from the parking lot and just enjoy the views and then go home. On the other hand you can get down in there and climb rock walls and find different pools of water. We saw tons of fish and birds. I will say that its very important to pay attention to weather conditions before going and plan accordingly. Once you're out on the adventure there isnt much shade, summers can be brutal. It was in the 70s this time and felt amazing. Bathrooms in the parking lot if needed and make sure to bring a bottle of water.

Beautiful place, well kept and quiet. A nice area to explore by the water and easily accessible by road. No swimming in the water of course, but climbing on rocks with caution was allowed and makes for some really great pictures at sunset. The whole park is nice, with helpful rangers, plenty of parking and beautiful sights to see.

Camped here for 2 nights, explored the falls and swimming area, and had a great time. Facilities are well maintained and clean. Some campsites have a sunshade over the picnic table already, but not all do so be aware when booking your site (always check the pictures). Beautiful weather in November 🏕️

Such a fun and fairly easy hike! Some areas can be slippery, the water levels were low when we went but it was gorgeous and worth the hike! Bring some flashlights if you go near sundown as getting back to the trail head is difficult at night.

Pedernales Falls is an absolute must-see destination if you are visiting the greater Austin area. This park delivers stunning, unique views and offers a fantastic full-day experience for families and kids. The primary attraction is the river's astonishing view of tiered limestone falls and sculpted rocks. It's truly a geological marvel that provides unforgettable photo opportunities. The park offers a designated swimming area (separate from the falls/flow area) and ample picnic spots, making it perfect for spending the entire day outdoors. You can also enjoy fishing in designated areas along the river. Tip: Be aware that the water level changes dramatically and quickly. Always check the park signs and conditions before venturing out to the falls area, as the area can be closed during flash flooding conditions.

I went to spend a few days recharging in nature. This park checked all the boxes during my stay. Beautiful scenery with decently difficult hikes for someone who needs more exercise. Big clean sites with restrooms that were also clean and accessible. I felt safe. Saw rangers patrolling regularly. It was comfortable and peaceful and I hope to go again and also to bring friends.

Had a blast there last weekend! My partner and I went camping there and during our stay, we visited many of the trails, saw some amazing views and even got to walk on the falls due to there not being a lot of rain lately. Which ultimately led to a burn ban being placed a couple of days prior to our arrival, so we couldn’t make a fire. But that was okay because we still had a fantastic time looking at the stars from our camp site. There’s quite a few trails in the park of all different lengths. There’s a swimming area that you can cool off in, after your hike too, which was refreshing. The bathrooms were really clean and maintained. The park staff were really welcoming and helpful explaining some things throughout the park. Would definitely recommend checking this state park out. We will be back
