Confirmed from Colorado River Refuge- Two Bridges Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park featuring swimming spots, hiking trails and fishing, plus barbecue facilities.

Beautiful Park on the Colorado River, connected to Bastrop County nature Park. The trail offers many unique rock formations and stunning views of the river.
First time on the trails here today & it's beautiful out here! Found a quiet little place where Jax found a friend to run around with. Will definitely come back for some hiking & kayaking! Trails are for leashed dogs. Highly recommend!
Two Bridges Trail was pretty with yellow fall color. Beware of parking lot. I saw a Mustang bottom out while trying to exit. I learned from his misfortune and took my Honda Fit back through the entrance. The area was very clean, I was impressed by that.
So peaceful!! Birds chirping and trail right next to the Colorado River!! The walking trails are pretty much shaded!! Highly recommend it!!
