Texas whitewater - Comal River, Comal County

Comal county, New Braunfels section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II(III)     1 miles
  If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Texas you might find the rivers here a bit more manageable, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are less demanding. The New Braunfels stretch of Comal River is 1 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-II(III) section. The natural beauty of Texas and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream have people coming here. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a
    large number of paddling spots. This is a very short stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. There are some good hotels near the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Getting a good workout and a chance to spend
some time outdoors are great reasons to come. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The New Braunfels section is the only paddling section along Comal River. The starting location is a reasonable drive from San Antonio, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page.
