About Edge Falls
Edge Falls is a secluded waterfall in Kendall County, Texas, noted for its peaceful setting and natural beauty. The falls sit on private property, so access can be restricted; visitors should verify ownership and obtain permission before planning a visit to avoid trespassing. For visitors who do secure access, there is an established outing often described as an approximately 2.4-mile out-and-back hike with roughly 350 feet of elevation gain and a moderate difficulty rating. Because the route and access are not on public land, conditions and approach routes can change—plan ahead, confirm permission, and treat the area with respect to preserve its quiet character.
