Summer,Outdoors,Memorial Day

Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer, and thousands plan to cool off by spending a few hours in the river.

– “Yellow tube, your tube, it doesn’t matter,” said Shane Wolf, director of Landa Falls. “We’ve got an opportunity either way.”“Everybody’s excited to get back on the river,” said Stacy Thigpen with Paddle Texas. “We are expecting crowds like we haven’t seen before with our big increase in population.”“We anticipate it to be very busy, as usual,” said New Braunfels Police’s Captain of Operations, Michael Penshorn. “Lots of visitors, lots of tourists, lots of people tubing on the rivers.

“That’s when our operations stop,” said Donegan. “And that was an area that we have had some issues from in the past.” Donegan said that isn’t impacting outfitters like Thigpen, who’s excited to take advantage of the moonlight with light-up paddle boards. “It’s amazing to see the smiles, changes in the tone of voice, just how much people are more relaxed and more in tune when they get off the river at night,” he said.“Come enjoy it,” said Wolf. “Treat it as if it is your own from that point. Mother nature’s blessed us, and we hope to get back.”Daniela Ibarra joined the KSAT News team in July 2023. This isn’t her first time in the KSAT newsroom– the San Antonio native spent the summer of 2017 as an intern.
