Biking

Biking around the scenic hill country that is Pedernales Falls State Park, there are amazing trails for mountain biking of all levels. For the more adventurous cyclist, test your mountain biking skills on the new Juniper Ridge Trail. This 10-mile technical, single track trail provides plenty of obstacles for more advanced riders.

Fishing

Fishing on the river is common at Pedernales Falls State Park. There is no fishing pier, but set up anywhere on the shoreline! You will most commonly catch catfish, bass, sunfish and carp in the Pedernales River. Catfishing is abundant following a river rise.

Hiking

Hiking around Pedernales is absolutely beautiful. There are seven trails within the park that range from .4 miles to 9 miles long. Take the Twin Falls Nature Trail and stop at the scenic overlook over the falls. Or tackle the six-mile Wolf Mountain Trail. This challenging trail wraps around Tobacco and Wolf mountains and winds along the small canyons created by Mescal and Tobacco creeks. Along the way, cool your heels at Arrowhead Pool, where Bee Creek spills into stair-stepped pools.

Horseback riding

Bring your horse to explore 10 miles of rugged trail. The trail is very rocky with some steep slopes. Due to the conditions of the trail, riding experience is required, as well as shoes for the horses. There are water troughs at the trailer parking area and at the midway point of the trail.

Climbing

There is rock climbing available on the Wolf Mountain Trail. The best spot is about a 20-minute hike in. Make sure you do not climb on the Twin Falls, as it's illegal and you will be fined.

Swimming

You can tube, canoe or kayak the river. Set up in at the swimming area or Trammell's Crossing Trail. For safety purposes, you are not allowed put-ins or take-outs in the Pedernales Falls area.
