Our vast region typically sees over 100,000 “Winter Texans” throughout the coldest season of the year. New Braunfels, in particular, is a popular winter escape because of our spectacular live music scene, peaceful Comal River, and year-round family-friendly activities. River City Resorts has premier New Braunfels lodging on or near the teal Comal River. Keep reading to learn more about our beautiful Texas paradise.
What Is a “Winter Texan?”

- Resides in the northern U.S. (or Canada)
- Travels south during the wintertime
- Stays in Texas for an extended period
