These are exciting times at Colorado Bend State Park! After two years of planning and hard work the Tinaja Trail is open. The unique feature of the Tinaja itself is impressive – as are the vistas, native plants, and bird life along the trail. The overlook deck on the Tie Slide Trail has also been completed. It’s a great hike and the deck affords stunning views looking down the Colorado River canyon!

New events are being sponsored by CBSP like the Great Texas Birding Classic held there last May. Birders from San Saba, Lampasas, Georgetown and surrounding areas showed up to help identify as many birds as could be spotted or heard from the count circle. Registration fees raise money for Texas bird and birding conservation project grants.

Not to be forgotten are guided Wild Cave Tours at CBSP. There’s some excitement in an alien environment right on this planet!
