Nice outdoor seating next to the Guadalupe River. Usually not too long of a wait time because they can seat a tremendous amount of people. My favorite: Chicken Fried Chicken and the trout.

Love this place for their margaritas! My favorite: Swirl margarita (lime margarita with sangria). Food is okay here, but definitely worth a stop for one margarita. Be careful, more than one margarita can make you pretty sloppy!

This place has the best beer selection in town. My favorite: McCanauhaze IPA. They also have a great breakfast menu-avocado toast and salmon board are pretty tasty. The meatball with spazal is delicious as well. It has a great German feel and hosts musical entertainment from time to time. Very busy on the weekends, but the outdoor sitting area is big with multiple picnic tables. They allow dogs in the outdoor area too which is a big plus!

Sightseeing

Wonderful place to take the kiddos for a day at the pool. There is a lap pool and a natural pool which can be pretty refreshing. I used to take my kids fishing for crawfish here when they were little. We fed the ducks and the deer, but I believe you are not allowed to feed the wildlife anymore. There is a small passenger train that runs for the little ones which is pretty fun for them. Every Thursday during the summer months, there is a band that plays here and it is free.

This is a beautiful drive from New Braunfels to Sattler. There are many camping areas along the river. Be aware of purple fence posts, as all property along the river is privately owned so do not trespass. If you'd like to enjoy the river, there are several points of entry at different establishments along the way where you can rent a tube and get a ride back to your car. Share the road as many cyclists train here.

Floating the River

This is the river that runs through New Braunfels and is very popular for tubing. There are many tubing outfitters in the area that have points of entry and will pick you up at the end of your float. It's beautiful water-crystal clear and refreshing! Please make sure you pay attention to the Can Ban. Police do monitor and will write citations in a heartbeat, so refer to this link so you are well prepared: https://www.texastubes.com/comal-river-rules-2020-new-braunfels-can-ban

This is a beautiful river. A favorite place to cruise on your bike or just take a drive is on River Road. Traffic can be heavy on River Road on the weekends, so please be careful if you choose to be on your bike. There are many camping sites along River Road as well. The lower portion of this river flows through Gruene and is a favorite for tubing. There are also tubing outfitters along River Road, and at Whitewater Ampitheatre in Canyon Lake.

This is a place you can wakeboard without a boat! You are pulled by a cable in a circle on the water and it includes different kinds of kickers and rails to hit if you are advanced enough. There is a boat lake where you can arrange to be pulled by a boat as well. It's a fun place for beginners and skilled boarders. Check Groupon for deals. There is a nice restaurant upstairs (Sylver Spoon) that we have not visited, but have heard the food is delicious and the skits/entertainment can be pretty fun. They are also opening a craft beer bar with ax throwing on the lower level. https://www.texasskiranch.com/

This is a very popular 10 day annual salute to sausage that occurs in the beginning of November every year. German music, food, and fun. In the past couple years, entrance has been free on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesday. There will be new buildings this year for the food vendors since a fire destroyed much of the grounds November 2019. Prost!

There tends to always be a deal on groupon for tubing outfitters in the area. Make sure you read the fine print and you are able to use the groupon on your selected day. Sometimes they eliminate holidays and weekends so please be aware
