Pedernales Falls

PortageHazardWaterfall / Large DropClass V30.33960, -98.25360

Description

See separate description for the falls.  Note that, if the river is within the recommended range for the downriver run, Pedernales Falls will be either a Class V or a V+.

NOTE:  As of this writing, the official park policy is to disallow boaters from putting in or taking out at the falls (although you may, of course, legally portage them.)  If you don't want to run the falls, you can take out at the park boundary and hike a mile to the Pedernales Falls parking area.  You can also portage/run the falls and take out 3 miles below them at the swimming area.  Please respect park regulations and be respectful to rangers.  You are legally allowed to run the river, but the park is legally allowed to control access to it.
