Texas Falls — Local services in Hancock

We visited Texas Falls on a beautiful day in early June with our dog. The area is dog-friendly and the falls themselves are lovely — easily viewed from the bridge near the parking lot. You don’t need to do the trail to enjoy the falls, and in fact, the trail doesn’t actually give you views of the falls.
