Live Texas River Conditions

Floating Texas provides real-time water conditions for the most popular rivers in the Texas Hill Country. Whether you're planning a tubing trip down the Guadalupe, a kayaking adventure on the San Marcos, a swimming excursion to the Frio, or a peaceful float on the Comal, our live data helps you choose the perfect day for your river adventure.

We pull water level and flow rate data directly from USGS monitoring stations along each river. Flow rates are measured in cubic feet per second (cfs), which tells you how much water is moving through the river. Higher flows mean faster currents and deeper water, while lower flows can expose rocks and make some sections impassable. Our letter grade system (A through F) translates these numbers into easy-to-understand ratings so you know at a glance whether conditions are ideal for your activity.

The Guadalupe River is the most popular tubing destination in Texas, running through New Braunfels and the iconic Gruene Historic District. The Comal River, also in New Braunfels, offers a shorter but consistently spring-fed float perfect for families. The San Marcos River flows through the heart of San Marcos with easy access near Texas State University. The Frio River in the Hill Country west of San Antonio stays remarkably cold year-round and is a favorite for camping and swimming.

Use our interactive map to explore access points, check current conditions before heading out, and discover new spots along your favorite rivers. Each access point includes details on parking, restrooms, and which activities are available at that location.
