Why Colorado Is Hard to Book
Colorado Bend State Park is one of Texas's most popular state parks. Reservations open 5 months in advance and popular weekends sell out within minutes. Cancellations happen constantly — people's plans change — but they go fast.
What Makes It Worth the Effort
- ✓Gorman Falls — a 70-foot spring-fed waterfall covered in moss and maidenhair ferns
- ✓Wild cave tours led by park staff (reservation required)
- ✓Colorado River fishing and swimming
Booking Tips
- The last several miles to the park are unpaved — it's doable in a car but slow going after rain
- Gorman Falls trail is 1.5 miles one way — moderate difficulty with some scrambling near the falls
Site Types Available
Water Only, Primitive Walk-in, Water + Electric
When to Go
March through May and September through November. Summers are brutally hot and the river can run low. Spring is the best time for Gorman Falls when the flow is strongest.
