Get there before 11 and you'll find yourself a nice spot. Bring what you need and don't expect picnics tables or grills. No bathroom either. The drive under the bridge can be a little rough. Parking is limited and it can get packed. We left at 3 and the one lane road was difficult to maneuver with cars trying to go in and out. The river water was perfect. It's not clear, but it sure was refreshing. The river is shallow. Nice to sit on a tube or in a chair. They offer tubing, but I didn't try it. In the area we were at, there were a few ropes kids were jumping off from. Shade is limited.

We have searched all over San Antonio and the internet for someone to help us without much success. We were in the San Marcos area and discovered TG Canoes and Kayaks. Justin helped us locate parts for some old Kayaks we had, helped us find two new kayaks that fit our needs perfectly. Justin even recommended two kayaks that were less expensive than the original ones we were looking at. I also felt their prices were very competetive compared with other kayaks we had previously looked at. Justin has provided incredible customer service as he has followed up with us concerning some of the parts we ordered for our old kayaks. I highly recommend TG for any kayak services or purchases.
