Comal Springs
The springs emerge from the Edwards Aquifer along the Balcones Fault, creating a network of clear pools and streams shaded by ancient oak trees. Visitors can observe the water bubbling up from the limestone fissures, feeding the short but significant Comal River. The area around the springs features walking paths and historic markers detailing the ecological and historical importance of this natural water source.
