Edge Falls

Kendall County TX

The falls have gone dry on the upper end of the creek due to droughts throughout the Texas region of the United States. Looking down onto the mostly dry creek bed one can visualize the depths of the creek while running. No doubt this lack of water has impacted the depth of the Guadalupe River that it emptied into in the past.

The water-worn rock formations leave one’s mind swirling as it imagines the water flowing along its course..

Oddly makes me recall how many times I have looked down into water falls and wondered what it looked like beneath the rushing water, This view certainly clarifies those thoughts.

Looking toward where the stream would be flowing toward us one sees the higher ground before turning to look down stream where steep walls of limestone have been worn away.

I have made several drives to the falls in hopes that after a good rain, the falls might be flowing again only to be disappointed. I can only imagine the fast-flowing waters and the sound of them rushing downstream.

I am amazed at the resilience and strength of nature where trees grasp hold and take root to grow in height.

The falls are posted on private property now. It is said that at one time people could visit the falls. Further downstream, a 35-foot fall of water existed. One’s imagination is left to hear the tumble of water from the rocky ledge as it flows downstream to the Guadalupe River.

Nature is an amazement and beauty that humbles me as I wander and wander on it as I seek and explore various locations.

View from the narrow road is possible to look down at the dry water bed and is thereby visible to anyone with limitations. This is a narrow road and the view is in a hazardous bend area of the road so anyone stopping for a view must be careful.
