Great place to picnic. Playground, picnic tables, boat ramp, restrooms. Scenic and shallow river area.

Love this hidden park :)Great place to take photos and enjoy nature.

I love getting lost here. Its a beautiful park with beautiful views and the trails branch and go everywhere. Wanna get lost in nature...visit Cypress Bend

Nice spot. for the whole family, yes your pets too. fishing was fun and enjoyed watching everyones dogs run around in the water.

Way nice this time of year. Not super crowded either. Not much for fishing unless younpaddle.down stream. People always park in the loading spot.

Love coming here. Great spots for little swimmers. People floating through are kind. Everyone does their part to keep this area clean. Parts of the water are clear to see to the bottom. Been coming to this not so popular spot for many years. Becomes popular with the summer season.

Beautiful park. Right off the river. Make sure to come early to get good parking. Grilling is only allowed in the pavilion so if your planning on grilling dont bother bringing your grill. Its a new rule they made because of an incident that had happened. But overall very peaceful park especially under the tall trees. Definitely will come back here next time we are in town.

This park is very serene and beautiful, I take my nieces here and there’s a park. The river is right off rocks and definitely could be a nice day for an outing.

My kids and I love this area! Definitely get here early to get a good spot and parking. The only downside (which i get because its nature) is all of the snakes. There were a few water moccasins in our area. But its still a beautiful spot

Good place to take your dog meet ppl get into river with kayaks go fishing just a fun place to be

Summary: lots of parking, great picnic area, super fun play structure.Details: with access to the river, its hard to go wrong here. Theres a small sandy beach but plenty of other places between the large shade trees to enter the water. Bathrooms, with sinks are available near the boat ramp.

Easy access to drop in kayaks and beautiful giant trees lining the river. Current is very light making paddling easy whether going up or down stream. Plenty of places to stop and relax along the bank. My go to kayaking spot.

Beautiful park that is well maintained. Only drawback is limited parking spaces so go early.

Great park to go fishing or just walking. The big trees give plenty of shade.

Ive been here several times and experience peace in the natural surroundings

Great family park. Lots of shade, easy river access, playground and restrooms.

Nice area to practice fly fishing.

It was great. Water easy access, get there early and you can have your pick of the perfect spot. There are bathrooms but they are gross, so if youre swimming just bring extra towels for the drive home.

HIDDEN GEM!!We were driving in from Gruene and ended up here. We went to 2 parks and no luck. We ran in to the nicest park ranger and asked for best kid friendly spot. He recommended Cypress Bend and boy was he right. We were in water in front of playground and bathroom. We had 4 little ones and not once was I worried. Water was at highest chest height where we were. Calm water, clean park, friendly rangers. One thing there are punctual but we didn’t mind. Great spot will definitely be back. New favorite spot.

Really nice, the water was so clear and fresh, will come back to enjoy it more

Wonderful and beautiful place to take the family to swim and cook out doors. I really recommend. Dont forget to take your beach chairs and covers to lay out.

Big open park with beautiful cypress trees, green space, and water access. Perfect for photos, dogs, kite flying, fishing, picnicking or laying in the grass.

Fun to bring your kids, did a little bit of fishing and caught some bluegill. Can float or just swim because it is shallow enough for the children and it has deep parts too.

I love this lake sooo much, is very fun for the kids and and is peaceful, No one brothers you, everyone is in their own, very cool .

Good place to spend the day with the family. And you dont have to pay for entry. Its very clean and well maintained. Pet friendly.

OK parking-limited but free, which is rare in this area. Plenty of large trees to produce dense shade in the TX sun but all of the riverfront area is steeply sloped and uncomfortable for spending any length of time. The water current is pretty strong, as it is just past a small falls which the brave kids were riding (there is an area just by the overpass to climb up and give it a try). Lots of people were hanging out under the overpass for shade. Not many easy places to get in the water-be careful with young kids. Even the water near the edges had abit of a current and as a strong swimmer, I only felt confident about knee deep.

Free. Wonderful area to fish or enjoy the river

Tranquility at its best! Beautiful park just steps away from the Guadalupe River.

Nice park for river access. Nice shady spots along the trail to get in the water.

One of the best parks in New Braunfels, Im able to keep track of both my children since they like to do different things at once. The scenery is fresh, open, and walking by the creek is a very enjoyable experience.

I adore this park. My impression is that its lesser known than some of the others in the area. Right on the river, and plenty of open grassy space for your furry friends. There are restrooms and a covered picnic area. Be aware, the park does close at night and officers do come down to check that everyone is out (learned that first hand ;))

Great place to walk along the Guadalupe river.

Wonderful memories here! Beautiful park and fun lake. Love those trees!

The park is well planned. The river flows well enough to float on tubes, but not too strong to allow children to keep control. The water usually has shallow water near the banks. A playground and restrooms are nearby. Parking is free and convenient. This is a great place for large gatherings with a large pavilion available to rent through the parks department. There are fields to play ball or just run around. The park is also very close to the well equipped and stocked library.

Great river access, awesome spot to bring kids to swim if you dont want to float the whole river.

Nice spot for tubing or kayaking. Parking is limited, arrive early for a better parking spot. Not a Place to BBQ.

Water was great, dogs are welcome, park rangers are more interested in asking you to move than writing parking tickets

Very nice place for fishing and chilling

Very pretty going back soon

Spacious, Awesome place to take the family or your dog to walk, run and swim.

Nice experience after not being able to camp somewhere else because we forgot to schedule it we found this PUBLIC AND FREE BEAUTY!

Our Family enjoyed our Sunday afternoon in the Guadalupe River under the beautiful shady trees. The park was well kept and the playground was, equipped with slides, swings, a rock wall for climbing and more.

Clean and pretty. 2 parking areas, covered patio with grills and a nice little playground. The river bank is well kept and easily accessible.

Not much here but you can actually get in the water.

This is the best locals spot and is always great for kids and our pups to run around!

This is a great little place that backs right up to the water with a gentle gradiant for the kids. The only dow side is its a popular river exit for tubing and so theres a lot of people passing through throughout the day

Great little spot to hang out at. Had a lot of fun with the family.

Went tubing. Great time!!

Great place for a walk along the river.

Nice little park with several climbing obstacles. Great area for lunch with the kids.

This is absolutely beautiful bend of Guadalupe River. The grounds are well kept, but when we showed up on Sunday afternoon, bathrooms were clogged and extremely dirty, and this was on a rainy day so there were no large crowds.

Nice well maintained park.

We had an amazing time this past weekend, we drove from Houston and will be looking forward to visit again soon.

Beautiful area. Not a dog park. Dogs must stay leashed at all time. Was highly disappointed to see this after making the drive with the purpose to let me dog run free.

Nice public entrance / exit to tube.Easy to get to.

Great place to bring your dog and your kids! Wonderful play area and the Guadalupe River is absolutely beautiful!

Good lake spot but, its the end of the tube trail so alot of drunk tubers coming out

Great place to vacation with the family in summer days. The park is clean Cristal clear river great for tubing and relaxing

This is a really lovely park with some of the best trees in New Braunfels. I love using this location for my photography as its usually pretty quiet, too. Theres also a sweet, little playground and a covered pavilion that our church uses, often. Its a hidden gem! ️

Nice walking paths. Looks like a great family place and also dog friendly.

Nice, clean little river park. One of the last remaining free locations on this sadly-commercialized stretch of the Guadalupe River at New Braunfels.

Its not very big and the trail isnt very long but it was a very nice quiet place and very pretty!

Area is great..need way more parking

Loved the serenity of it!

Not a good place to go swimming or Tubing. Pretty dirty and no Toilets.

For a March, Thursday afternoon, I loved this location. First time visiting here, and I enjoyed my time. Fished for Bass, seen some Bass, but no luck. Guess the water temp was still a bit cold for them to be active. My daughters didnt mind though. They had a blast feeding the squirrels and ducks. They ate crackers right from their hands. Friendly little guys. Definitely recommend this to anyone needing a quick escape from the rat race.

Great place for kids and adults.lots of shade.lots of parking

Beautiful place to take you dog or hang outIts also a great place to put your tube or kayak in

We camped with a friend during the Family Fun Campout. The park is well maintained and the staff had fun activities for the whole family from an obstacle course to a smores station and a tent decorating contest. It was a very enjoyable evening and we look forward to going back next fall!

Its fun but parking sucks

Fun place to dip your feet into the cold Guadalupe River, easy access. Small parking lot on busy weekends.

This is a nice quiet little park thats less traveled than others in New Braunfels. Its close to the river and has a peaceful atmosphere.

This park is the last public exit for the Guadalupe. But, its also a great spot to have a picnic, launch kayaks, and is shallow enough for kids to play in the water. The pavilion and field can be rented for special events too.

Nice and quiet. No drunk tourists. I enjoy off-season.

My family enjoyed themselves so much! The park was beautiful. The water was cold and somewhat clear and clean except for the occasional beer can popping up from below the clay bottom. Shallow and slow drifting bend in the Guadalupe River. Kayak and tube to your hearts fill. Tall shady Grove of old Cypress trees will keep you from burning to a crisp as you float along.

Its a great day to outside and at Cypress Park. Beautiful day.

This park is smaller but perfect for a laid back outing. There is a play ground, river access, pavilion with grill, restrooms, walking path, a large field that dogs are frequently playing fetch in. We frequent this park, its usually less busy than Landa.

Beautiful Scenery!! Nice country feeling.. Great for kayaking..

Nice park that many people dont know about.

Nice area. Not sure about the fishing. We were scoping out areas to fish. Might be one we try at some point.

The best place in earth to relax

This place is awesome if you have a family. Not too crowded and enough space.

Many crazy memories made here in the 70s.

Nice and relaxing

Great place to access the river!

Love coming here.

Love this area of New Braunfels

Very nice great access to the river for fishing or just lounging or go for a walk or run. Would have given a 5 star but restrooms need work and updating.

Great place to swim. However you do have to be mindful of the people kayaking and fishing.

I love swimming here the water so cool n love every minute we spend with family the ONLY THING I DIDNT LIKE IS WHEN I ASK THE SECURTY IF WE COULD DRIVE OUR CAR IN TO PICK UP OUR STUFF AND HE SAID NO !!!, YALL USE TO LET US DRIVE UP N PICK N DROP OFF OUR STUFF, WE EVEN SAW A TRUCK N A CAR DROP OFF N PICK THERE STUFF PLEASE JUST DRIVE IN N LET US PICK N OR DROP OFF ESPECIALLY ME AM NOT TOO WELL FROM MY LEGS TO BE WALKING TOO FAR

Finally a place you dont have to pay to park to enjoy a public park and river. New Braunfels You really shouldnt charge people to get access to public rivers. Your town Is getting a little out of control with that. This is a good spot to launch your kayak.

Very nice for the family and hangout

Awesome. Super clean. Plenty of water access. Boat access. Wasnt busy at all.

Beautiful and very clean

Nice still water, a lot of algae. Its free

Nice spot to be for the afternoon! Park, restroom, and trash bins. Our family enjoys coming here.

Great park to visit with the family. Restrooms, a playground, and easy river access. A beautiful area on the river.

Sit in the park. Read a good book. This make my day always so special. Always happy when I come back. To have a quiet me time. Away form the buzz of the city.

Ok need something coverd place food truck sit down just to watch the lake

Peaceful, clean water. Quiet environment.
