Landa Park is located in New Braunfels, on the edge of the Texas Hill Country. The crystal clear Comal River runs through the 51-acre Park, and is home to many types of water fowl, including ducks and geese. Shaded by ancient live oak trees, Landa Park features walking paths, a golf course, a putt-putt course and a miniature train that will thrill any child. You will likely see deer hanging about the park, but please don’t feed them or the water fowl. It is against the local laws. Landa Park also features an arboretum, with lovely trees and plants coloring the site. You can walk, jog, splash in the wading pool, ride the train or just visit with friends. Dogs are welcome, on leash.

We took our boat out on Canyon Lake with our family. The lake is very scenic and is surrounded by rolling hills. The lake had plenty of water and boat traffic was moderate. We found a nice spot to anchor and floated in the after behind our boat. We came back to the dock after dark and our boat ramp was very easy to navigate. We had a terrific visit to the lake.
