Small riverside park on the clear San Marcos River offering shallow swimming holes, rocky banks, wooded trails and lively tubing scenes. Shoot reflections, swimmers on rocks, deer and trash-art by local artists. Visit weekday mornings or golden hour for softer light; summer weekends are crowded. Easy ground access, picnic areas and roadside parking — no fee. Pack waterproof protection and quick lenses for moving subjects.
