Hidalgo Falls on the Brazos River is the lone waterfall within fifty miles of College Station, and paddlers know it best. It is a rapid northwest of Navasota, with no trail data to plan around, so treat it as a river outing. The Brazos Valley runs flat and green, which explains the count of one. Locals chasing a canyon and a tall drop give the weekend to the Hill Country.

Located at 30.5852°N, -96.2959°W
