You may have heard about the new disposable container ban that applies to areas inside the New Braunfels city limits. If you are inside the city limits, it's okay to drink on the river, as long as you have a non-disposable container. Local businesses and river outfitters will be glad to help you understand the restrictions.
The Guadalupe River is one of the most beautiful and adventure ready destinations in Texas. The upper river runs fast and is lined up at the banks with limestone and pecan and bald Cyprus trees. This part of the river is popular as a tubing destination in the spring and summer. The perfectly paced water with the shades offered by trees on the banks gives tourists a spectacular experience, one that can be enjoyed and shared with friends and family. It flows through the Guadalupe River State Park and campers can make the most of floating down the river in their inflated tubes. In order to protect the environment, glass and Styrofoam are not allowed.
The lower river originates from Canyon Lake and the section between the New Braunfels and Canyon Dam is the most popular stretch for recreational purposes that range from tubing, rafting and camping. During the summer season, thousands of families flock to this part of Guadalupe River to enjoy the picturesque views of nature and delve into some adventure sport like rafting, canoeing, kayaking as well as tubing. Much of the land along this stretch is private and so care needs to be taken to respect the privacy of residents in accordance with the law.
Tourists and adventure seekers can plan their stay ahead of time through a full range of campsites and lodging facilities. The types of cabins available for rent range from small spaces with the bare necessities to luxury accommodations for several families.
