Activities Available:
Swimming HolesNice little park located on the cool, crystal clear Comal River (the shortest river in Texas) available for tubing down the famous chute and for swimming. This place will remind you of Barton Springs in Austin and the general area often is listed on top ten lists of swimming holes. The flat water often attracts families and co-eds wanting to work on their tans, but codgers hang out here as well. The Comal is a nice river for a flat water tubing trip and it is very similar to the trip you could take over at San Marcos. The best swimming holes are located right at the chute and just downstream from there. You can rent a tube right at the entrance to the chute at the City’s concession on Leibscher Drive, or there are other outfitters such as Corner Tubes or Rockin R across the street from the chute and they can shuttle you up river and then you can float down to the chute. Pat’s Place is located close by if you want to grab a beer after spending time at the river. From IH 35, Take Loop 337 and turn left onto Common St. in New Braunfels and it should take you to the chute.
