		History: Pedernales Falls State Park, 5211.7 acres, in Blanco County east of Johnson City, was acquired from private owners in 1970 and was opened to the public in 1971.
		Pedernales Falls is the park's main attraction and may be viewed from a scenic overlook at the north end of the park.
		In this area, the elevation of the river drops about 50 feet over a distance of 3000 feet, and the cascading falls are formed by the flow of water over the tilted, stair-step effect of layered limestone.

	Pedernales Falls State Park, Texas Hill Country
		Approach: Pedernales Falls State park is not reached by a main road, although it is just 10 miles from the well travelled US 281 route which begins at San Antonio and travels due north all the way to Wichita Falls near the Oklahoma border.
		Pedernales Falls are best during the rainy seasons in fall and spring but worth seeing at any time of year.
		An easy path leads down to the river, at which point wading and swimming are not allowed to protect aquatic life, a rule that seems often not to be obeyed.

	Handbook of Texas Online:
		The Pedernales River (pronounced "Perdenales" by native Texans) rises from springs in the southeastern corner of Kimble County (at 30°16' N, 99°20' W) and flows northeast for 106 miles, crossing Gillespie, Blanco, and Hays counties, to its mouth on Lake Travis, near Briarcliff in western Travis County (at 30°26' N, 98°04' W).
		The terrain near the river is flat to rolling with local escarpments, and its fine sandy loams support the juniper, bald cypress, mesquite, and grasses characteristic of the Hill Country.
		The upper reaches of the Pedernales River are generally too shallow for recreational use, but the middle and lower reaches of the river provide good white water, especially during periods of high runoff.

		The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) in Region K and San Antonio Water System (SAWS) in Region L are studying the feasibility of a plan to help meet future water needs in both regions by capturing stored or unused Colorado River flows in an off-channel storage facility and conveying that water to San Antonio.
		The Nature Conservancy is collaborating with the River Systems Institute to implement a multi-disciplinary research program to address the most glaring information needs in the watershed and to evaluate the impacts of current land and water management and develop strategies for integrated watershed management, including groundwater and surface water management.
		Historical land uses in the Pedernales River watershed have affected the current ecology and condition of the river, and effects are likely to worsen as the watershed continues to urbanize and water demand increases.

	CRWR Online Report 98-6 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		By Michael E. Barrett, Ph.D., P.E. The LCRA water quality database for the Pedernales River was analyzed to determine current conditions and whether there are significant water quality trends.
		The data were collected by the LCRA and TNRCC at four sites along the Pedernales River: RR 1320, Johnson City, RM 962, and upstream of the confluence with Falls Creek (the lower boundary of this river segment).
		There is no immediate concern that changes in land use or other human activities threaten the water quality of the Pedernales River; however, the source of higher concentrations of dissolved solids and nutrients in the upstream reach of the river should be identified.

		Tech Notes: Walking down to the river in the heat requires minimizing the cartage factor, so I usually don't even take a tripod, which is cool because I'm not really doing anything telephoto anyway.
