Pedernales State Park is located in Blanco County, not far from Johnson City.

View from the scenic overlook.

My daughter loved looking for shells in the sand.

We visited on a weekday in late January, and the park definitely wasn’t crowded.

Love the photos! I have to admit that the numerous flash flood warning signs in the park made me a bit nervous.
Thanks! Yes, I saw those signs too. Hard to believe the water level can change so quickly!
This is a park I’m dying to visit! These are beautiful pictures – can’t wait to go now. Glad I found you!
Thanks so much for your kind words about the pictures. I took them with my point-and-shoot and edited them using Picknik.
You should definitely visit this park…the falls really are unusual looking!

My fiancee and I are taking my two children to tent camp at Pedernales this weekend! We can’t wait; it’s been years since I’ve tent camped, and the children never have. Thanks for the lovely photos; it’s great to see the park at the same time of year we’re going!
