There is no shortage of places to go tubing in Texas Hill Country! One of the most iconic and most popular river for tubing is the beautiful Guadalupe River. It's waters are spring-fed and cool, making it perfect for summer floating. There are many drop points along the Guadalupe River, including one in New Braunfels at Camp Fimfo Texas Hill Country.
Also consider the Comal River! It's about 3 miles long and is a beauitful stretch of river with plenty of sandbars to stop at. There's a ton of shade along the Comal, giving you a break from the sunny days of a Texas summer. A fun twist to your usual floating trip is the New Braunfels Tube Chute. Rather than a typical drop-off point, you enter the Comal River through a chute that takes you for a ride on your tube and launches you out onto your river journey.
