Loved the pools!
Reservations to enter this State Park can be easily made online. The cost is $12 per vehicle. This was our last stop for the day. We started with Hamilton Pool Preserve, then on to WestCave Discovery Center and finally Pedernales Falls State Park. Loved the park. Walked around to explore and then sat down to enjoy the view. We also did the Twin Waterfalls trail but I wish we had spent the time at the pools instead. The pools are definitely a sight to behold! An enjoyable afternoon!

Good for river wading
We visited New Year's weekend. Vehicles without reservations were turned away. Vehicles with reservations were allowed into the park one at a time as other vehicles exited. The park was fairly brown this time of year. The picnic area was empty as was the lower parking lot that leads to the water. Most of the traffic was at the end of the park at the Pedernales Trail System. The Twin Falls trailhead is inside the campground which was blocked to day passes. The ranger did allow us to loop through the campground to look at sites. The campground was tightly spaced and had limited privacy. The bird blind had a small parking lot and was congested so we didn't stop. This park seems like it would be a great destination during the heat with the water flowing. However, it might not be a good destination for dogs as there was a sign warning about blue green algae.
