About Canyon Lake

Right Around the B&B

Mellow out in the sheltered hot tub outside your door. Walk down to the nearby public boat ramp for picnicking, sunbathing, swimming,  or fishing. You can launch your boat from the ramp.

The local deer population is always interesting to visitors.

 Enjoy nearby Comal Park, just over the hill and around the corner from our B&B. There is a nice swimming area, and an offshore island to explore.

Here’s a picture of the view from the B&B.

 In the Immediate Area

There are a number of fast and slow food eateries just down the road, and other places within a short distance.

Take a walk across Canyon Dam. Or the very nice South River Trail (trailhead is near the dam).

Tube on the Guadalupe River (ten miles or so away, depending where you are going).

 

Take a scenic drive along the Guadalupe river to New Braunfels (River Road). Not recommended on a weekend - too much traffic.

Additional activities: rent a boat; parasail; ride horseback;  scuba dive.
