Lower Comal River
Lower Comal River is a clear, fast-flowing Texas river float.
Bridge put-in, two bends, and a public take-out make this a straightforward float with faster current than the upper river.
About Lower Comal River
Lower Comal River is the lower stretch of the Comal in New Braunfels, entered under a bridge and floated through two bends to the last public take-out before the Guadalupe. It moves faster than the upper section, but it is still a clear freshwater float with bass, perch, catfish, and turtles around the bends. Public access is managed through river parks and marked exits, so the run works best in normal recreation flow. It suits people who want a straightforward river float with fish habitat and an easy public exit.
