Continue reading to learn about the best spots in New Braunfels, such as Comal River, to cool off this summer.

Comal River

Comal River is a short river that passes right through New Braunfels. It flows more than two miles in the Guadalupe River. Because of its proximity to New Braunfels downtown, it is a popular location for swimming, tubing, and scuba diving. The river’s steady flow makes it a great place to cool off if you have young children. The river also maintains a comfortable temperature of about 70 degrees throughout the year. If you haven’t brought your floating gear, many rental businesses in New Braunfels cater to floaters.

Guadalupe River

A portion of the Guadalupe River passes through the New Braunfels city limits. However, most of the river’s tubing opportunities are just outside the city. Multiple businesses near the Guadalupe River can provide you with floating gear. If you are interested in swimming, your best bet is to park in Cypress Bend Park. There are many pavilions and places to picnic and lounge, too. Please note that no lifeguards are on duty.

Schlitterbahn Waterpark

An incredible place to cool off this summer is the Schlitterbahn Waterpark. It’s one of the best waterparks in Texas, which offers river rides, pools, waterslides, and more. It’s an amazing place for all ages. There are fast water slides for adults looking for thrills, and Schatze’s Storybrook Park is a small water park for young children to enjoy with their parents. There is also a wide variety of food and shopping, so if you want to, you can spend the entire day splashing about at Schlitterbahn Waterpark.
