When Lake Buchanan is near normal levels, the river is navigable from the park's boat ramp all the way to the lake, approximately 10 miles. This is a trip on slow moving water through the beautiful canyon lands of the Colorado. Other day activities include guided tours to Gorman Falls and guided, wild cave tours, both walking and crawling. Reservations are highly recommended for the cave tours due to the limited number of people which can be taken on any given tour. Contact the park to make reservations and check questionable weather conditions.
Substantial footwear is recommended for all tours.
There are also 2 back pack areas where you must carry everything you need and pack out absolutely everything you don't use. The River Back Pack Area is about 2 miles from a chemical toilet and water faucet. The Windmill Back Pack Area is about 2.5 miles from a chemical toilet and water faucet. Ground fires are also prohibited everywhere in the park except in designated fire rings in the main camping area. The park has 11.7 miles of hiking trails and 8 miles of mountain bike trails.
