About Flat Creek Crossing Ranch
Flat Creek Crossing Ranch is a 500 acre guest ranch located in the rolling Texas Hill Country and sits adjacent to Pedernales Falls State Park. A close drive to Historic Fredericksburg and minutes to Johnson City, the Ranch is a perfect backdrop for corporate retreats, team building events, hiking groups, family reunions, weddings, biking and nature exploration. It has also hosted camp experiences, athletic events, and served as a backdrop for several films.
