rafting.jpg (32930 bytes) Riverbank Outfitters has a full line of rafts, tubes, and inflatable canoes for your outfitting need. We invite you to come and enjoy the beautiful and scenic Guadalupe River in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.  The Guadalupe River, from Canyon Dam to New Braunfels, has long been recognized as one of the most exciting float trips in the Southwest. Please Note: for safety and conservation reasons there are some laws which you must observe while on the Guadalupe River.  No polystyrene foam or glass is permitted on or in the river for any reason.  Please pay attention to these laws-they are solely for your benefit!
