President Lyndon B. Johnson wished to have this statue placed at the state park, overlooking the river. While it may appear the statue takes on a somewhat assertive stance similar to the "Johnson Treatment," the pointing statue is directing our attention to the river and the land of his birth. President Johnson felt most at home in the Hill Country and at his ranch, located just across the river. Some of his earliest memories, he said, were of the Pedernales River.

This statue was donated by former Texas Parks and Wildlife Commissioner, Judge A.W. Moursund, who was an adviser and life-long Johnson family friend.
