Insider tips

Check the water levels of the reservoir via the city website before planning water activities as drought conditions can affect access.

Bring bug spray, as the vegetation near Cibolo Creek attracts significant insect activity during humid months.

Wear water shoes if you intend to swim or wade, as the creek bed can be rocky.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to swim after heavy rainfall due to potential flash flooding and elevated bacteria levels in the creek.

Etiquette

Leash laws are strictly enforced for pets; carry out all trash to maintain the riparian ecosystem.
