Austin's In-Town Attractions and Easy Day Trips

13 Explore the wonders of New Braunfels

New Braunfels is a modern city with small-town charm and is known for the beautiful Comal River, which flows right through the middle of town. Visitors enjoy floating down this river, with its clear and calm, spring-fed water. Canyon Lake is also close by and boasts plenty of fishing and water sports opportunities. In addition, summertime fun can be found at Schlitterbahn Waterpark, where all ages can relax in the lazy river, ride the water slides, and enjoy the kid's waterpark.
