Gorman Falls

Gorman Falls is awe-inspiring. The pictures don't do it justice. It is twenty times prettier than it appears in photos.

Gorman Falls is 70 feet tall and is one of Texas' most beautiful waterfalls. It is located in Colorado Bend State Park. It's so unusual that tourists frequently say that it doesn't appear as it belongs in Texas and that it belongs in a tropical environment like Hawaii or Costa Rica.

To put it another way, it's an extraordinary place–which is why trekking to Gorman Falls is the most popular activity in Colorado Bend State Park! The climb down to the falls, however, is challenging. If you don't mind carrying 30 gallons of water, don't do it in the summer. Do this hike in the winter or autumn when the temperature isn't pretty hot.
