The trails and parks of San Antonio, TX

There is a quiet (and scenic side) beyond the bright lights of San Antonio.

Discover a world of outdoor adventures in San Antonio with scenic trails in parks or by paddling the river which winds through charming neighborhoods.

The San Antonio River Walk offers more than just the vibrant downtown scene. Venture south and discover the serene beauty of Mission Reach, an eight-mile linear park perfect for nature enthusiasts, history buffs, and those seeking a peaceful escape.

Rent a kayak or canoe and paddle through the gentle waters of the San Antonio River, surrounded by greenery and wildlife or explore the 16-mile network of biking and hiking trails that wind along the river.

The terrain is mostly flat and paved, making it suitable for all ages and fitness levels.

When in San Antonio, Rodeo is a must.  The Tejas Rodeo Company is a hidden gem located just north of San Antonio which provides an authentic Texas experience with live rodeo performance every Saturday from March to November. Visitors will see bull riding, barrel racing, team roping, and more, followed by a live country and western band and dance.

A San Antonio outdoor gem is the Natural Bridge Caverns , a world renowned show cave consisting of two spectacular caverns. The Discovery Cavern is the largest cavern in Texas with multiple tour experiences including caving adventures. The Discovery Tour offers a journey through the first chambers discovered at Natural Bridge Caverns where visitors can see inspiring natural formations. The Adventure Tour offers a real caving experience, designed as an excellent introduction to caving as well as an exploration of natural beauty in the deepest recesses of the earth.
