Colorado Bend State Park is a small but perfectly positioned park along a bend of the Colorado River. The park has a number of developed campsites with water, electricity and restrooms with sinks, toilets and showers. There is also plenty of open space for primitive camping along the River Trail. These primitive sites are first come, first served. The river always has running water, but the depth varies based on the amount of rainfall in the hill country. I tend to like the primitive campsites where one may place a tent in a clear area or hang a hammock amongst the trees. One of the main features of this park is the river and the easy access for fishing. During February and March there is a white bass run in which anyone with a fishing rod, reel, line and white jig can catch a fish. When wading or swimming in the river take care because the river bottom is mostly jagged limestone and difficult to walk over. If you camp near the primitive campsites, the River Trail runs along the river for about 3.5 miles. Sometimes the trail is cleared, sometimes it is overgrown. At the end of the trail is a beautiful waterfall called Gorman Falls. You can also reach Gorman Falls by driving and parking your car, then hiking about 1/4 a mile. Another feature within the park is a tinaja - a surface depressions formed in bedrock that occur below waterfalls that are carved out by spring flow or seepage. There are some great mountain biking trails in the park. It's a small park, but has some great attractions.
