If you’re looking for a summer you’ll never forget, then look nor further – you need a Hill Country summer! The Texas Hill Country is one of the most beautiful places to visit in the summertime. With its bright blue rivers, sprawling lakes and beautiful natural landscape, you’ll never want to leave!

Time on a River

The Texas Hill Country is home to some of the most beautiful rivers. Take a trip to San Marcos, where you can gather your friends and take a relaxing float down the river. There are many places in San Marcos that provide tube rentals, such as Texas State Tubes or the San Marcos Lions Club. Alternatively, if you’re looking to just hang out by the river, you can visit Rio Vista Park. Here, you can play in the water or sit on the rocks and listen to the river flow.

Canyon Lake Fun

Additionally, Suntex Watersports in Canyon Lake also has a variety of water vehicle rentals. Here, you can rent pontoons, ski boats, wakeboard boats, jet skis and more!
