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

Such a great place to visit with walking trails, great access to the river, play grounds for the kids. You can rent tubes, and float the river. There is even a bus to bring you back, really something for everyone. Pet friendly as well!!

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!

The place is nice, slipped on steps as soon as I got there because of some green stuff growing on it and hurt myself so I could not stay long. Maybe they should clean the steps with something to stop the growth of algae??

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.

Beautiful park, with plenty of space for walking, jogging or roller blading. You can also take a dip in the river, and there were several dogs in the water during our visit, so Im assuming its dog-friendly as well.
