This is a pretty okay park, if you're traveling on 71 back and forth to Houston or Austin; I like…read morecoming to this park. The reason why I like coming to this park in particular is because it's spacious enough for me to walk after sitting in the car for a long time and it's not crowded. I like walking down to the Colorado River to look at the beautiful water. Near the river, it's brown sand and if you come in the spring you can see the Texas state flower: bluebonnets! Since they're working on the bridge, you can't access the trails underneath it. But any other time, you can and it takes you to into the town. There aren't any walking trails into the forest, however, if you would like you could walk around the spacious parking lot. It's pretty safe since there isn't a lot of people frequenting this place. The trees are big and old which means that they'll protect you from the sun UV rays. Some of the picnic tables are under these shaded trees which creates a relaxing space. You'll sometimes see some feral cats, but they will not come to you. There's a sign in the park that says do not feed them so don't feel tempted to. Last time I came to the park, I saw a feral cat but it was injured. I deeply felt bad for it and wanted to help, however, it ran from my presence. If you're into sports, they're the large field for soccer and there's even a basketball court. There's plenty of trees for your dog to piss on if they're into pissing onto trees. I'm sure the trees can use the nitrogen. If you ever find yourself needing to use the restroom, there are men and women toilets separately. Although, you might want to bring some Clorox with you since they seem to never clean them. There isn't any sinks in the restrooms. And if you are the skittish type, there is a lot of dead bugs in living bugs in the restrooms. If you are not a litter bug, throughout the park are trash cans. So I know someone is coming to the park to maintain it. Perhaps next time they come they could clean the restrooms since they look like they haven't been cleaned in years! Also, there's plenty of parking.

This park was pretty empty. We only saw a few others walking on the trail. There is one that goes…read moredown to the water near the bridge, which they are currently working on.

I went in primarily to see if they could give me some human directions v car-made ones. The gentlemen on duty was super helpful and indicated I was very close to getting onto the main thoroughfare. He even walked me outside and pointed me in the right direction. I felt compelled to buy something since he was so helpful, but did not have an appetite that early in the morning. I did use the restrooms, which were super clean. Then I was on my way...back on track!

Schobels offers a salad bar visit to most of their meals which I took advantage of. While the number of offerings on the salad bar were plentiful I was disappointed to see iceberg lettuce as the only lettuce option. When the entree arrived I thought the fish was a little dry and not as flavorful as I would have liked. The plate also had German potatoes on it. I would have liked another vegetable. It was a bland meal. I think Schobels may be a better restaurant than a 3 score but that was my experience for that dinner. I would be glad to return and try something else.

For her dinner she chose Blake's Kitchen & Kocktailz spot to bring us all together for a nice late dinner on a Friday night. Parking was super easy and plenty of spots. At night the lot is a little dark so keep that in mind when you are here during night time hours. I had family and company so I felt safe walking with them in and out of the lot. Inside is large and surprisingly they got the space to hold a large party like ours where we had ten (10) people to join in on the celebration. The staff and team were cool enough to allow us to bring in our own birthday cake, utensils, and small plate for the occasion. Menu is large and there really is something for even the pickiest eaters. Our whole party all got things from the menu that ranged from hamburgers, smaller sized country fried steak, and even some mocktails that were not on the menu for the birthday girl. Service was fast and prompt through (almost) the entire night until our servers changed and no one told us. It was fine service changed we just wanted to know and make sure our server, Lily, got the tip we left behind for her taking care of us. Food was good and call came out at the same time which was just OK for me on my hamburger steak but I understand - we are a group of 10! Everything from appetizers to our mains were delicious otherwise.

The left faucet water would not come on but at least there was soap & the right faucet worked. A man knocked on the door when I was about to walk out. He was just in time bc this restroom NEEDED his attention desperately. I'm sure if I hadn't walked in at the very end of a shift before a cleaning that this would be a great restroom at a rest stop. The water fountain water was HOT though. We had drinks in the car. I was just curious if the drinking fountain actually worked. My advice: Don't use it!

This is a review for the Tesla Supercharger - Columbus, TX…read more As others have noted, this Supercharger is a bit tricky to find--it's tucked behind the Baymont by Wyndham, and you won't spot it until you've already passed the location. Not a huge issue, but something to keep in mind. Charging speed was decent, but if you're traveling with a pet, options are limited. The nearest restaurant, Los Cabos Mexican, doesn't have a dog-friendly patio, so we ended up grabbing food from McDonald's and eating in the car. It would be great to have a sitting area near the chargers or a pet-friendly spot. Glad there's a charging stop in the area, but knowing the limited options, I might hold out for the next set of Superchargers next time.
