The Gorman Falls Trail is a 2.6-mile out-and-back trail located near Bend that ends at the lovely Gorman Falls. Hailed as one of the gems of the Texas Hill Country, the path and the waterfall are situated in Colorado Bend State Park and is considered a “living waterfall” – growing over time due to the high concentration of carbon dioxide in the water that flows through the large limestone deposits in the area. The Gorman Falls Trailhead is situated near the park entrance and has a parking lot at the start where hikers can leave their cars before starting the three-mile round-trip hike to the falls and back. The Gorman Falls Trail is rated as moderate. It’s accessible year-round, and dogs are allowed on this trail but must be kept on a leash.
