The Pedernales River is beautiful. Spanning 106 miles from Harper to the Colorado River, it shapes the landscape of Texas Hill Country. Throughout history, Native Americans, German settlers, and cattle ranchers have all traveled along its banks. Former President Lyndon Johnson, serving the United States from 1963 to 1969, fondly remarked, “Here is where I would always return, to the Pedernales River, the scenes of my childhood.”
This scenic spot is an ideal place to relax, listen to the water, or take a dip to cool off on a hot day.
