The water is beautiful and clear.I recommend for you to go really early to get a parking space.It’s free and a clean place.Keep in mind that the water is really cold but other than that it was a great experience.❗️The right address is 555 Cheathman St. San Marcos Tx. 78666❗️

This is a place I really enjoy coming to with family and friends. Water is clear, lots of things to do, and visit. Please if you do go here do not litter! Its so important to preserve this place.

Very quiet and safe

This is not the address to the River, Look up "Rio Vista Park" that's where you wanna be at, pics in this address don't match.

This is the wrong location to the San Marcos River. Now from here we still have about 40 min to actually get to the River. I'm disappointed.

Tubing was fun but can be dangerous. Would advise on renting a life jacket even if you are an expierence swimmer. And dont buy a water proof case holder for your phone there cus my sister bought one n it broke and lost her phone.

Had a blast! Went for Fourth of July weekend and it was nice. Water was actually deep and cold, there was a lot of people but at least you can still get in the water, you dont have to be around them it started to get empty toward evening time my favorite part was tubing down the river and it’s quiet and chill you almost forget where you at for a moment. Plus it’s free you don’t have to pay unless you don’t want to walk when you have a tube but other then that it’s your choice. I recommend this river it don’t disappoint.

Love it here, it's always a peaceful, beautiful place to go.

Free swimming & tubing for the family to enjoy. Or you can rent tubes & use their shuttle service. Propane grills are allowed.

This place is one of the most relaxing places in San Marcos! 😍😍 I fell in love with the silence and cleanliness of the river and its surroundings. Everyone can sit on a mat and just chill and relax. It's a perfect spot for the day out and picnic. It's allowed to swim, kayaking, etc. Will I come back? Definitely YES!

Beautiful day on the San Marcos River. The flow was perfect and the scenery was amazing. What a great day off!

I visit from Houston and we had a great time I recommend going whit the family is a awesome place

(Translated by Google) Nice place, the water is cold but it's nice I loved it😃🤗 (Original) Lindo lugar bien fría el agua pero está lindo me encantó😃🤗

Fun place to hang around with the family

It's always well maintained and there's great camping spots the only thing I don't like is you can't drive through to choose your camping spot first you have to go to the office to get an entrance permit before you do anything and if you don't you will be treated like a criminal

Love this river ..flowing beautifully and swiftly water levels still good and lots of fun for whole family ! I try to go here as much as possible !!! Love it !💜

So nice and relaxing I went tubing it was so nice and the waterfalls are just perfect I would go again if my car worked

I got massively sunburned on my trip out to Austin and the water from this river felt like ice, it was awesome! Try not to go too early in the summer or risk it being over crowded from college students celebrating the end of the semester. Otherwise a gorgeous spot with water the strangest shade of blue. Its also the one and only home of the San Marcos Salamander.

(Translated by Google) He tells me that it is very nice, it is the first kiss that I would like to visit that place. Mmmm delicious (Original) Me cuenta que está mui bonito es primera bes que me gustaría visitar a ése lugar Mmmm delicioso

Bathroom is really clean but on a side note I tried 2 booked 2 nights online went to the desk when I checked in they gave me a different tent for the next day then when I got my credit card bill they charged me an extra 55$ without telling you when I called they said a Manger will call you but they didn't I called again they said the second I went in the room earlier so it seems like u have to wait on your 2nd they outside of the tent until 330pm when I just transfer from one tent to another no one told me this being a single parent it's hard when your kids have a good report card and save money and they charge u hidden prices

(Translated by Google) Could someone confirm if the river is available (Original) Alguien me podría confirmar si está disponible el rio

It was a great adventure and very fun but one warning their is a lot of creatures including snakes,bugs and insects and other I don't know the name of so yeah.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place (Original) Hermoso lugar

Beautiful place, perfect for Sumer ,fam loves it what else do you need from palace

Gorgeous river. On the same grounds as Texas State University so beware about where you decide to settle yourself down as there is a part of the river you cannot consume alcohol in. Float rentals are $14 however the majority of people bring their own. They also sell the air for $4 i believe in case you need to put air on your own float. Anyways my experience was enjoyable, very relaxing. The river hosts life to wild rice which was pretty cool to see. If you look down hard enough you can see small fish swim at your feet. This river is swim at your own risk so no lifeguards are around to protect you. Overall a great experience to help connect yourself with mother nature.

This place is as good as it sounds. I have gotten there like every single summer and spring break and trust me it is a 2 hour and 30 drive from where I live at but it is totally worth it. The current might be strong but its in thr afternoon and the water is always warm

My friends and I go to float the river EVERY YEAR! It’s clean, fun, refreshing and a great way to step out into nature. It’s one of my favorite things to do in Texas!

❤️

Cool breezy water way in pretty area. Great for whole family or group of friends to go tubing. See the historical homes & museums in area. Then spend the afternoon cooking off in the San Marco's River.

Great fun with my family always come here every summer but remember to bring water shoes and sucks that you can't bbq there

I think I made an mistake going on the rapid was horrible Our Boat SINK On that same day I bought 60$ Shoes To go but my shoes got wet damaging 60$ shoes plus to many people swimming I think the reason Cause we went on the night time We Cleary Stop at the RAPID

Beautiful river.

Good swimming

Scenic

One of my favorite places! It's beautiful and a place you can just enjoy being!! 💕

The best place to hangout swim and tube

(Translated by Google) Nice (Original) Bonito

Kinda pricey but still fun

Wonderful family float

Very nice place..

Lots of fun but very cold water!! Take your own floaties to avoid wasting money and make sure to wear water shoes. The rocks can kill the fun.

Tubing is the best

Nice place

Beautiful river.

(Translated by Google) The water is clear and cold excellent to enjoy with the family (Original) El agua está clarita y fría exelente para disfrutar en familia

Nice views

I liked the area where the San Marcos Lions Club Tube Rental is and the upper stream. The water is clear, and you can feel the current. I did not like the rest of the area except for the final three rapids. The reason? The smell of Mary Jane and cloudy water.  It seems this river is for riverside blazers because wherever going through quiet places along the river, there was the distinct smell of ganja lingering in the air. Comal and San Marcos rivers share the same water aquifer. Both rivers provide fun river-tubing. If you want a nice relaxing feeling with your family, go to the Comal River.

Chili's restaurant.

It's a river but the Guadeloupe and the Comal are better

Great place to enjoy the day

Cold clear and refreshing. (But not downstream past the confluence with the Blanco river)

(Translated by Google) It's nice but today I have a black snake and a lot of rocks in the sea. I dole much (Original) Es lindo pero hoy avia una culebra negra y mucho rocas en el mar. I doele mucho

Place is ok if you are close yo it but if the driving is over 2 hour is NOT worthy,river very crowded,bathrooms very filthy and very hard to find parking space.

Love this

Excellent work they are doing
