Hey there, water lovers! Can you feel it? That buzz in the air that says it’s almost time to grab your tubes and hit the water? Yep, floating season is right around the corner here in New Braunfels, and we’re all itching to get our feet wet!
Our beloved Comal and Guadalupe rivers are about to become the hottest spots in town—well, actually the coolest spots when that Texas sun starts blazing. Nothing beats drifting down these relaxing waterways with your buddies, a cold drink in hand, and not a care in the world.
Let’s be real—floating isn’t just an activity around here, it’s practically a right of passage for summer fun from May through September and local tube rental places are already dusting off their inventory and hiring summer staff. Places like Texas Tubes, Rockin’ R, and Comal Tubes are gearing up for the thousands of visitors who’ll be looking to beat the heat.
Pro tip: Book online early if you’re coming on a weekend. Nobody wants to be that person standing in line for an hour while your friends are already floating away!
The food and drink scene along the rivers are stepping up too. Word on the street is that several new riverside spots are opening with special “floater menus” you can enjoy without even drying off. Plus, our local breweries are releasing some special summer editions perfect for those river coolers.
For first-timers wondering what the fuss is all about—trust us, once you experience floating Texas-style, you’ll be hooked. There’s something magical about drifting under cypress trees, spotting turtles sunning themselves on logs, and making friends with other fellow floaters.
Remember though, we love our rivers, so don’t be that person who leaves trash behind. Many locals volunteer for river clean-ups every week because keeping our natural treasure pristine is everyone’s job. Bring along a small trash bag—future floaters will thank you!
Weather forecasters are predicting a hot summer (shocking, right?), which means perfect floating conditions. The rivers might be a bit crowded on holiday weekends, but that’s half the fun—river people are the best people!
So start digging out those water shoes, invest in a serious cooler, and start planning with friends and family. River season is coming, and New Braunfels wouldn’t have it any other way. See y’all on the water!
