🎉Your Guide to New Braunfels Weekend Fun

June 13, 2025

Happy Friday, New Braunfels Life readers!

The weekend is upon us, and the recent downpour of rain is still the talk of the town — roads closed, river updates, and some much-needed (but not enough) help for Canyon Lake levels. We’ve got the full scoop below, plus a roundup of fun ways to celebrate Father’s Day, rainy day activities, and your weekly dream home.

We’re proud to welcome The Kyle Law Firm as a new partner of The New Braunfels Life. With more than 25 years serving New Braunfels, San Marcos, and the surrounding area, they’ve built a reputation as fierce advocates in personal injury and criminal defense—and they’re one of the few firms in Texas with board-certified specialists in both areas.

From serious injury cases to complex criminal trials, their experienced team has successfully resolved so many cases and recovered substantial settlements for clients when it mattered most. If you or someone you know needs trusted legal help, The Kyle Law Firm offers free consultations and personalized support every step of the way.

Expect to hear a lot more about all the work they do in the coming weeks and months!

đź’¦ STORMS, RIVER CLOSURES, AND A SMALL WIN FOR CANYON LAKE

A soggy week in New Braunfels — and a whole lot of impact.

Wednesday night’s storm packed a punch, temporarily closing parts of the Comal River and scattering trash carts across neighborhoods. Canyon Lake levels rose by about a foot, now sitting at 46.5% full — a small improvement but still far from where we need to be.

As of Friday morning, access to the Comal River is still closed, and the Spring Fed Pool at Landa Park is temporarily shut down. The city says they’ll reevaluate river conditions today so make sure to keep your eyes peeled for updates.

If your trash cart floated off, it may be just a few houses away — or you can file a request at newbraunfels.gov/garbagerequest.
