There's a café along the shore where you can sit, have a drink, and enjoy the view of the waterfall -- such a nice spot to slow down and take everything in. It's a great area for walking and casual strolls, and there's also a playground for kids. Overall, it's a wonderful place to relax, whether you're visiting with children or just coming on your own. Perfect for a walk, some fresh air, and enjoying the water. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.

Don't bring those bring a shoulder bag version. don't think you're gonna be able to lay out your towel and sit down. It's not a beach. It's very much a river first come first serve.

If you're facing up to the restaurant that would be the right side. Be careful bring your water shoes!!!!!

I guess they're charging each head for parking in their lot. Highway robbery in a sense. Charge a parking fee and keep it moving! I will say they do keep your keys safe while you're on the river. For those of us that DID rent a tube, they are quality tubes with carton at the bottom and they do give you a ride to the entry point. Those guys were nice. One of my friends got harassed for wearing short shorts. Not sure why somebody got offended. SMH next time the goal is for all of us to go purchase our tubes at Academy for the same price.

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.

They have an air conditioned portable bathroom trailer that is decent. 6 stalls in the women's room and they were fairly clean. The summer heat had them smelling a little funky, but I'm not sure what can be done to fix that. The staff was friendly. The school bus ride back to the starting point after the float was nostalgic. For a moment, it took me back to feeling like we were on a school field trip. We definitely see ourselves coming back but at least bringing our own floats for our coolers to cut down on the expense. We had a large group with 2 coolers so it was $50 just to bring our coolers along.

They do have a decent size portable bathroom, which was nice. My only complaint is that they should keep the water on inside them a little longer. We got back to the beginning around 4:30 and went to use the bathroom before heading out, but the water was already turned off. The float itself was actually painful. There are SO many rocks that you constantly hit and scrape your rear end against, and it gets pretty uncomfortable after a while. I'm not sure if I'll be back to this location just because this particular section was so rocky. Overall, it was fun, but definitely bring some extra money and be prepared for a rocky ride!
