Description

The Pedernales River at LCRA Nature Park offers a straightforward float with easy access and public parking, making it suitable for beginners and casual paddlers. While not a technically challenging rapid, the river section between Hye and Johnson City provides a scenic 16.7-mile stretch with potential for low water conditions and potential rock navigation. Paddlers should check current river levels and flow rates before attempting this section, as water volume can significantly impact navigability.
