The Central Texas float rivers

Four rivers, four personalities: a dam-fed classic, two spring-fed constants, and a canyon beauty that lives and dies by the rain. Each guide pairs the story of the river with its live flow, history, and the honest read on today.

Guadalupe River

Texas's most famous float river, dam-fed and cold below Canyon Lake, with the classic tube runs at River Road, Horseshoe Loop, and Gruene.

Comal River

The shortest river in Texas, spring-fed, clear, and floatable almost year-round through the heart of New Braunfels.

San Marcos River

Crystal-clear and spring-fed from San Marcos Springs, the most consistent float water in Central Texas, right through town.

Frio River

Cold, clear Hill Country water through Concan and Garner State Park, the prettiest float in Texas, in flash-flood country.
