If you decided to spend your Spring Break in Texas Hill Country, your main reason is probably all the fun you can have tubing down Guadalupe River. To see just how beautiful this area is, start your visit by driving on the River Road along the Guadalupe River, especially the stretch between New Braunfels and Canyon Lake. This incredibly scenic road surrounded by lush greenery and small tumbling overflows is also the location of most tubing outfitters, so you might start right there. All outfitters are very experienced and will tell you how fast you can go depending on how much water there is in the river at the time. The Upper Guadalupe River is smaller and faster than the lower stream, shaded by bald cypress and pecan trees and is surrounded by limestone banks. The lower river between Canyon Dam and New Braunfels is very popular for tubing and tends to be crowded during the holidays and weekends. You might like to know that drinking alcoholic beverages in moderation is allowed while tubing in this area as long as you do not use disposable containers.
