Spicewood Springs Trail The Spicewood Springs Trail at the Colorado Bend State Park delivers a refreshing journey through crystal clear water features, rocky ridges, and quiet, secluded paths meandering through forest and canyons. On the 3.5 mile round trip, you should be prepared to do some scrambling up and down rock faces, expect to get your feet wet and be ready to backtrack when you lose the trail. Spicewood Springs trail and the Spicewood Canyon trail share the same river front access trail from the southwestern river front parking area. Access to the Spicewood Springs Trail runs along the banks of the Colorado River where you will enjoy an easy hike with intermittent shade. I was there on a clear day in late February and started my hike at about 10:30 a.m. At that time, this 1/2 mile stretch leading to the Spicewood Springs trail was a comfortable temperature. But, on the way back, it was pretty hot and with little shade for my hatless head ( I totally forgot to bring the hat)!...
All about great hikes across Texas.
