My favorite place in San Marcos! A crystal-clear spring-fed river and plenty of grass to lay it on. Pecan trees if you want shade. Rent a tube from the Lions Club. All proceeds go to local charities.

It is my childrens favorite river, the staff who rent the inflatables are super friendly, cordial, and understanding, they helped me in a situation with a purchase. The river is very cold, I love it! It is perfect crystal clear. I visit it every year

I love this place. Has a great walking path and plenty of spots for recreational sports. If you go when its not too crouded the water is crystal clear and its so relaxing being out there floating on the river. Playground: Im not a child but if I were the playground would be tops. Toilets: Theyve got a few restrooms around the park. Theyre not completely gross. Dog-friendliness: Plenty of places where your dog can play and they have dog waste stations throughout the park

A beautiful place to take my family for a fun trip outdoors. There is a park, restrooms, and plenty of room to hop in the river. Wide open spaces to set up towels and a cooler on the banks. The water is always cold. Great spot to bring your dogs!

Where else in the middle of winter specifically January can you go swim in a spring-fed river free of charge and thats actually clean in the United States of America I think that deserves the five star rating right off the bat, remember the Texan way is the friendly way if you moved here recently stay friendly God bless.
