Waterfall Hikes Near Abilene, TX

Butman Falls is the only waterfall inside fifty miles of Abilene, and the record on it is bare, so treat any trip as a scouting run. This is dry rolling ranch country, and what falls exist out here move water only after rain. Abilene hikers who want a dependable waterfall usually accept the long drive, southeast to the Hill Country or north toward the canyons under the caprock.
