Pedernales Falls State Park is a beautiful state park located minutes outside of Johnson City, located along the banks of the beautiful Pedernales River near its mouth at Lake Travis. The park is located on lands that formerly belonged to the working Circle Bar Ranch, which was converted into public park property in 1971. Today, visitors can hike, bike, and horseback ride at the lovely park, which showcases trails ranging in difficulty from easy and family-friendly to moderately strenuous for experienced hikers. 10 miles of rugged horseback riding trails feature rocky, steep slopes that serve as a great challenge for experienced riders. Swimming opportunities are offered directly on the river throughout the summer months. Visitors can also camp at a number of primitive and electric hookup campsites throughout the park, including group campsites.
