  • Beautiful river running through town for so many to enjoy. San Marcos River is spring-fed from the Edwards Aquifer. Who knew Texas had an aquifer? I'm from FL and thought we were the only ones...

  • Beautiful day on the San Marcos River. The flow was perfect and the scenery was amazing. What a great day off!
  • Had a blast! Went for Fourth of July weekend and it was nice. Water was actually deep and cold, there was a lot of people but at least you can still get in the water, you dont have to be around them it started to get empty toward evening time my favorite part was tubing down the river and it’s quiet and chill you almost forget where you at for a moment. Plus it’s free you don’t have to pay unless you don’t want to walk when you have a tube but other then that it’s your choice. I recommend this river it don’t disappoint.
