When you want to fall off the grid and indulge your wild side, Colorado Bend State Park is the place to go. Sitting along the bend of the Colorado River, this park has 6 miles of waterfront and 5000 miles of undeveloped, primitive adventure waiting just for you!
This trail is one of the best hidden spots in Texas! Though it may be a rugged and rocky trail, the incredible view at the end of the trail on Rusty’s Roost makes the trek worth it.
Gorman Falls is the most popular spot in the park - and for good reason. In fact, it’s such a breathtaking view, you might even think you’re in Hawaii. Whether you’re hitting it after a major rainfall when the water is really flowing or during a dry spell, you’re sure to be impressed by its beauty.
Since the Colorado River is the namesake of this park, you can bet that it provides all sorts of fun year round. In March, hundreds of fisherman will swarm the river for the White Bass Run. But it’s also a great place for catfishing and swimming.
The only thing better than a beautiful hike is one with refreshing springs along the way to cool you off. This trail is one of Texas’s best-kept secrets, with dozens of spring-fed pools of crystal clear water.
Colorado Bend is home to hundreds of caves ripe for exploring. I suggest you join Nichols Outdoor Adventures for one epic trip down below. This isn’t one of those paved pathway caves… it’s an adventure of a lifetime as you crawl through spaces that seem completely untouched by humans! Be sure to say hello to the creatures that call this place home like the daddy long leg spiders and glow in the dark scorpions!
After a long day of hiking, all you really want is a good home-cooked meal - and that’s exactly what’s served up at this general store. Grab a beer and a plate of whatever delicious meal they’ve cooked up that night (whether it’s pulled pork hoagies or juicy steak) and sit back on the porch to live music.

That’s me and my dog Spree at 32 seconds in. My Daughter and I remember seeing you filming at the Falls.

I grew up out here back in the 1970's before this land was a state park. it was two ranches. Lemon's camp, and Gorman Falls. The Lemons family owned Lemon's camp. My friend's father managed and/or owned Gorman Falls. then the state bought the land. We almost lost a couple of friends deep inside the big Gorman Falls cave by the river. (not the one on this show) Luckily for our friends, TX State spelunking Students happened to be in the cave when we were there. We also called up a Mountiain lion one night while night hunting and calling for fox and coyotes. To be young again! The Bend Store was the only store nearby. What a Beautiful Place! Great show!

Brother, I appreciate ya'll releasing full videos. We love your videos, but we'd search a video to a place we were going and 5 minutes just wasn't enough. That's how good ya'll are. I'm on a Bucket List to see every State Park and my "kids"( (22 and 14) have been on this adventure with me. We randomly ran into one of your videos about 6 years ago and we're addicted. You guys offer the usual "See what's in Texas" theme, but with ridiculously stupid humor. And I mean that in the BEST way. Keep doin' what you're doin' and thanks for it. Pretty sure your videos are more entertaining and persuasive to get my kiddos out and about than I am. Props to everyone involved. Ya'll feel like family at this point. FYI...I'm a Fannett guy. SETX shoutout.... 👍

What makes it special is that it's unknown, uncrowded. Gorman Falls and the main park area near the river get swamped with people. But the back country trails... you can have them all to yourself. Gorman Springs Trail runs to a natural spring, and it looks straight out of the Shire. Trails to the north traverse some great cuts and small canyons. Tinaja Trail is tough, but worth the views. Lively Loop/Windmill Trail is usually deserted. Great if you just want to camp out for the night. Spicewood Canton Trail has other people on it, but it forces you to climb down a waterfall. Miles and miles of repeatable fun, all in a place few people go. Inks Lake down river, just two dams away, and it's packed most of the time.

@keeandchee Год назад

This was one of your better episodes.

@TheDaytripper Год назад

Thank ya!

Imo this probably the best state park in texas for pure hiking. So many trails and nearly every one is different. The Gorman falls is unique. The Spicewood springs is fun to swim in. The overlooks are plentiful and much to explore. I've been 3 times and still have more I want to see. Great video!

Loved playing Camp Host with Nikki Elms and all the staff and co-hosts. Winter of '21 was especially memorable!

@derrickcolgan6097 11 месяцев назад

Love this place. Thank you for showing me things close to home I never knew about.

@livinthelife6056 Год назад

Headed there in July thanks for the pre tour ! No spiders and worms though !

@Anthony-ot8vl Год назад

The "trail" sucks. Very rocky. Once you get to the river and waterfall it's a beautiful spot.

@michaelmckelvy9165 Год назад

Thank you for the videos. I always give a thumbs up and comment. Thanks for taking us around the state. Good food also. 🤙🤙🤙

@GinNJuice1975 Год назад

First off tight spaces, no. Second off spiders, hell to the NO!! lol Nightmares are made of these!

@beverlypeacock8201 Год назад

Spent two nights there in early April. When you say remote you aren’t joking. I do wish the park had showers as would definitely stay longer.

Remember the day when we were encountered by a rattlesnake while walking to Gorman falls . Terrified a bit but completed our hike to Gorman falls .

I was supposed to go here last weekend but had to cancel because of the storms.

@straightshooterz 9 дней назад

What’s there to do there? Is it worth it for a 4 hr drive for a 5 minute sight seen

@TheDaytripper 9 дней назад

Spend the day there.

The scorpions glow because their exoskeleton is made of keratin like our fingernails, teeth, and hair etc, and the keratin makes stuff glow under a black light.
