Thousands of tubers are expected to pack New Braunfels waterways for the Fourth of July holiday weekend. The Guadalupe and Comal Rivers, which run through New Braunfels, are popular summer attractions for tubers beating the heat.

River Conditions

Current river conditions may still be below historic norms, but they are some of the best they have been in years, according to New Braunfels River and Watershed Manager Amy Niles. The recent good river flow has brought the river levels up, making it ideal for tubing.

Matthew Hoyt, the owner of Corner Tubes, agreed that the current flow rate of 171 cubic feet per second is great for tubing. Texas Tubes owner Colie Reno also expects a busy weekend, with thousands of tubers expected to pack the rivers.

Tips for Tubers
