How to get to Colorado Bend State Park
The park is accessed via County Road 442 and County Road 441 from the town of Bend, Texas, roughly a 2 to 2.5 hour drive west of Austin and about 4 hours southwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The final approach includes several miles of gravel county road, which can be rough and dusty, so RVers should reduce speed and watch for washboard sections after rain. There are no tunnels or major mountain grades, but low-water crossings in the area can flood after storms, so check conditions before arrival. Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is the nearest major airport for fly-and-rent travelers, about 110 miles southeast.
