Where the Story Begins: The Comal River

The Comal River is the heart and soul of New Braunfels. That’s why we are rejuvenating 16 acres at the river’s headwaters, transforming the space into a premier nature center where our community can learn, play, and experience history in the making. We are strengthening the bond between people and the environment by restoring this unique riparian habitat and showcasing the enduring significance of the Comal Springs.

Explore the mission, leadership, and partnerships behind Headwaters at the Comal and our shared commitment to conservation and education.
