Butterfly Spring Falls
Butterfly Spring Waterfall is about a third of a mile
downstream from Upper Guadalupe Falls.
Butterfly Spring flows out of the earth and over a 25-foot high
waterfall. It is easily seen from the
main stream of the Rio Guadalupe below.
Butterfly Waterfall shown here March before
leaves came out, is fed by Butterfly Spring just above the falls.
