History: Colorado Bend State Park, a 5328.3-acre facility, is located west of
Lampasas in San Saba and Lampasas counties. The park site was purchased partly
in 1984, with the balance acquired in 1987; the park was subsequently opened in
1987.
The park is located at the former sites of the Gorman and Lemons Ranches above
Lake Buchanan.
Activities: The park currently offers the outdoor enthusiast access to primitive
camping, hiking, fishing, which at certain times is terrific, swimming, mountain
biking, birding, and nature watching, and guided tours. The park has 15.8 miles
of hiking trails and 14 miles of mountain bike trails. When Lake Buchanan is
near normal levels, the river is navigable from the park's boat ramp all the way
to the lake, approximately 10 miles. This is a trip on slow moving water through
the beautiful canyon lands of the Colorado. |
