Fantastic excursion for all ages granted the can do a simple hike. "Canyon Lake Gorge is a limestone gorge in Texas, which is around 1 mile (1.6 km) long, hundreds of yards (metres) wide, and up to 50 feet (15 m) or more deep, which was exposed in 2002 when extensive flooding of the Guadalupe River led to a huge amount of water going over the spillway from Canyon Lake reservoir and removing the sediment from the gorge. The gorge provides a valuable exposure of rock strata as old as 111 million years showing fossils and a set of dinosaur tracks, and forms a new ecosystem for wildlife with carp and other creatures in a series of pools fed by springs and waterfalls." - Wikipedia

The Canyon Lake Gorge was created after a flood in 2002. It can only be accessed by taking a tour. The tour lasts 3 hours and is worth the time! You must make a reservation ahead of time. Best enjoyed if the weather isn't too hot since you are outdoors. Should do this at least once.
They recently added self-guided trails. One goes along the rim of the gorge and another within the canopy of the hill. There’s a $5 charge to do the Gorge trail but worth it!
