The San Antonio Riverwalk is a great place to take a break from the Texas heat and enjoy fine dining, your favorite beverage and fun time.
The San Antonio River
The San Antonio River runs right through the heart of the Texas City. Many years ago, the enlightened city leaders preserved the area along the river. By adding additional channels and branches the river now runs in a complete loop in the downtown area.
The main tourist area is in a section called Riverbend, or the South Bank, with dozens of restaurants flanking both sides of the river. The river is in a controlled channel, where the water is only three to four feet deep.
