River rats, rejoice. Many activities here center around the Pedernales River. There's swimming areas, tubing, and whitewater rafting. Anglers don't get angry, the park isn't really known for its fishing, but catfishing is good after a river rise.
There's also much to explore, like the 19.8 miles of hiking and mountain biking. The Twin Falls and Wolf Mountain trail are big hits. There are also 10 miles of equestrian trails and 14 miles of backpacking trails.
There are plenty of campsites to settle into along with a primitive camping area. There's even a group camp just for horseys to hang out in.
Must Know: This beautifully-eroded limestone river area comes at a price though (other than the entrance fee). Like many rivers, it's prone to quickly changing water levels. Long story short: check the weather before you
