River flow has been lowered this weekend to facilitate the KID -FISH activities at the lst crossing on River Road.  

Rio Raft and Resort has 21 Guadalupe River front cottages with kitchenettes, full baths and  a great view of our beautiful river frontage just above the 4th Crossing Bridge on River Road. Four cottages are near our swimming pool but also have river access.  RV camping is available with 30 and 50 amp service, on site sewer, cable TV, picnic table, free WiFi and space for big rigs. Our event center overlooking the river will accommodate family reunions, corporate and church retreats, wedding parties or RV Rally clubs as well as activities for our Winter Texan friends.     Rio Raft has been a family oriented resort since 1977 and  prides itself on being one of the quietest parks on River Road and the only one with a 24 hour on-site camp host.

Now is the time to plan your spring or summer vacation - the lake level has risen so river flow should be great this season!  Lower winter rates are in effect now thru March so come enjoy the peace and quiet on the Guadalupe.  Rainbow trout stockings have begun here at Rio - Guadalupe River Trout Unlimited and Texas Parks and Wildlife both stock here at Rio Raft.  



Open year-round, Rio Raft offers fishing access for Rainbow and brown trout, Guadalupe bass and more with boat rentals available all year (weather permitting).  Choose rafting, tubing (or toobing), inflatable canoes, sit-on-top kayaks for 2 to 6 hour trips with several options on different sections of the river, including the popular Tube Loop. Personal attention and free river maps help make your trip fun and relaxing - we also have the items you need such as water shoes, waterproof gear bags, sunglasses, lotion, and cold beverages for a great time while on the river.  Of course, if you have little ones or just want to really relax, enjoy ourrefreshing beach-entry pool and covered pavilion while the more adventurous brave the rapids!
Volleyball, horseshoes, children's playground and 1/4 mile riverfront park give you plenty of choices for fun and games.




 Rio is a stocking point for rainbow trout so bring your fly rod and fish the southernmost trout fishery in the United States.
Gruene Hall, Schlitterbahn, Natural Bridge Caverns and Wildlife Park are nearby as well as wonderful restaurants,  Prime Outlets shopping, museums and historic buildings in New Braunfels.  San Antonio is less than an hour away for visits to the Alamo, the Riverwalk, the historic Mission Trail and lots more.  
Winter Texans are welcomed in style with a reception at Gruene Hall and at the Canyon Lake Resource and Recreation Center at Canyon Lake - both in February.
