A Kendall County natural area northeast of Boerne, where the Guadalupe River runs clear between limestone bluffs — shaded pools, a few miles of trail, and not much of a crowd.
Kreutzberg Canyon is the kind of place locals keep half to themselves — a stretch of the Guadalupe River between limestone walls, with cypress shade, wadeable pools, and trails that climb out of the canyon for the long view.
the Guadalupe River runs through the canyon with clear, shallow pools for wading and cooling off on a hot day. Bring water shoes — the bottom is rock.
A few miles of trail trace the creek and climb the canyon rim for Hill Country views. Easy to moderate, and good for a half-day out.
A natural area, not a resort — picnic tables, shade, and room to breathe. Check the county page for current hours and any reservation rules.
The canyon sits northeast of Boerne, an easy add to a day around town.
