Landa Park Highlands

Landa Park Highlands gives you front-row access to New Braunfels' natural playground without the tourist buzz. The area sits right next to the 196-acre Landa Park, where crystal-clear springs maintain a perfect 70-72°F year-round. Tube down the Comal River or take peaceful walks under mature oak trees while birds provide the soundtrack. Kids will love splashing at the nearby Schlitterbahn Waterpark or exploring the McKenna Children's Museum. You'll need wheels to get around this quiet residential area, as public transit is limited. Most visitors stay in vacation rentals or cozy bed & breakfasts that offer a genuine slice of Texas suburban life. The area itself has few dining options, so plan to drive into town when hunger strikes.

Guadalupe river

Lake Dunlap

Lake Dunlap delivers peaceful lakeside bliss just minutes from New Braunfels. Morning mist rises from glassy waters where fishing piers and boat launches invite you to cast a line or paddle out. The Guadalupe River flows nearby, offering tubing adventures and scenic spots to relax. Towering cypress trees frame the shoreline where you can spot herons and osprey. Vacation rentals and lakefront cabins make up most accommodations, many with private docks for easy water access. A car is essential as public transit is limited. Pack provisions in advance—dining options are sparse within the area but New Braunfels restaurants are a short drive away.

Guadalupe River New Braunfels, Texas

River Road

River Road pulses with the sound of rushing water and laughter as the Guadalupe River winds through New Braunfels.

Riverside eateries serve up casual Texas fare with BBQ joints and Tex-Mex cantinas offering perfect post-river fuel. Most visitors stay in riverside resorts or vacation rentals with direct water access. A personal vehicle is your best bet for exploring this recreational paradise, as public transit options are limited.
