What You Can See on the Comal River Live Cam

Our Comal River live cam gives you a real look at the river before you leave home. Cameras 1 and 2 watch the river entry stairs at Landa River Trips, which is one of the best ways to judge water levels and how busy the river is right now. Cameras 3 and 4 look out toward the falls at the beginning of the Comal River and the Wurstfest grounds, and during Wurstfest they show up first as our Wurstfest live cams. The Bridge Bash Cam watches Landa Street by the train bridge, the route many people walk to Wurstfest. That railroad bridge sits low, and every so often a truck that is too tall finds out the hard way. Switch between them with the buttons under the video.

The Comal is spring fed, so the water stays around 72 degrees all year, and the float from our entry to the last public exit takes about two and a half to four hours depending on river flow. The float time above is estimated from today’s flow. The river flow number above comes straight from the USGS gauge on the Comal River at New Braunfels and updates every time you load the page.

Comal River Live Cam FAQ

Is the Comal River live cam on all the time?
Yes. The cameras stream 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Occasionally a camera may go down briefly for maintenance. If a feed looks frozen, switch to another camera and back, or refresh the page.
How can I tell how busy the river is?
Cameras 1 and 2 show the river entry stairs at Landa River Trips, so you can see how many people are getting in right now. Weekends and holidays are usually the busiest times. For the most current information, give us a call at (830) 625-5889.
How cold is the Comal River?
The Comal River is spring fed and stays a refreshing 72 degrees year round, so it feels cool on a hot Texas day.
What time is the last entry?
Enter the river by 4:00 PM. The float takes about two and a half to four hours depending on river flow, and the last shuttle runs at 8:00 PM.
Can I bring alcohol on the Comal River?
Yes, as long as it is in a reusable container. Disposable cans, bottles, and cups are not allowed on the river. See the container policy above and our river rules for the details.
What does the river flow number mean?
River flow is measured in cubic feet per second (CFS) by the USGS gauge on the Comal River at New Braunfels. Higher numbers mean more water moving and a faster float. Lower numbers mean a slower, lazier float. At 300 CFS or more the float takes about two and a half hours, and at 100 CFS or less it can take about four hours.

Cameras are live 24/7. Occasional downtime may occur for maintenance. For current conditions or questions call us at (830) 625-5889.
