    If you live in San Antonio, your tubing options are usually the Comal, the Guadalupe, or a long Frio drive. The spring-fed San Marcos at Kingsbury is the underrated fourth option — and for many SA families, it's now the default.

    The Comal is two miles long and packed on weekends. The San Marcos at Son's is a longer, slower float with cypress shade and far fewer crowds. See tubing details.
