Canyon lake-Guadalupe River is located in the Texas hill country in the United States and it is ran by the city of New Braunfels. You can go 24 hours a day and 7 days week if you want. I would leave the house little after noon to arrive when it’s not as hot outside. The activities you can do here include tubing and going swimming. The reasons you should go to the river are: most of the time you can just relax and float around and have fun. You can go swimming and you don’t have to worry about sharks or alligators or any other things! Eels, snakes, and fish live in the water, but as long as you don’t taunt the snakes, then you’ll be ok. There is a big rock in the middle of the river. If you get stuck on it, the way to get off it is to go slowly and move your bottom till you are off it. If you are with friends and are holding a rope, I prefer that, then the others will help you. I don’t suggest you get on the rock since they are really slippery and you might fall and hurt yourself or your tube might float away. If you don’t know how to swim that is okay! There are lots of parts that are shallow and you can stand up, or use a tube for floating. If you go over a small waterfall don’t freak out! If you fall, there are rocks right there so you can stand on them and also you can just hold onto you tube.

Have fun that’s all that matter!
