Pedernales Falls carries the waterfall load for Fredericksburg, east past Johnson City, where the river slides down a long staircase of tilted limestone. The trail runs just under two miles round trip and climbs about a hundred feet, easy grade the whole way. Kids manage it fine, and dogs are allowed too. The other five listings, Edge Falls, Rust Falls, and Horseshoe Falls among them, are rain-fed Hill Country creek drops with thin records, up after a storm and gone quiet by late summer. Six falls make the page.

Located at 30.2660°N, -98.8751°W
