San Antonio River Authority
Website Directions 210-227-1373

Established in 1937, the San Antonio River Authority oversees environmental stewardship, flood safety, and sustainability across the regional watershed. While its main facility functions primarily as an administrative government office rather than a tourist destination, the authority manages numerous public parks, paddling trails, and greenways throughout the area. Visitors and locals can engage with community education programs, river conservation efforts, and recreation resources.

Quick tip: To experience the river firsthand, visit one of the authority's public parks or paddling trails rather than the administrative headquarters.
