The small town feeling

Nothing really other than that...College town
In a nutshell
If it weren't for the university, this place would be boring (unless you like outlet malls)
3 Reviews The old Aquarena Springs on Spring Lake that boasted beautifully manicured & landscaped grounds with a well managed program that controlled non-native plant growth in the lake is history. The Texas State University, ( then SW Texas State University) purchased the property under the ruse of utilizing...
3 Reviews This is one of the major attraction of the area, either you just stroll along or decide to do something more wet!! I was there in november but apparently tube renting is very popular during the summer; have a look to the following link for the details...
2 Reviews This is one of the major piece of architecture in San Marcos. The Hays County was created in 1848 and named in honor of Capt. Jack C. Hays, a noted Indian fighter and Texas Ranger. Restored to its original style, this buildings typify the Central Texas Courthouse Square.
1 Review A nice park on the Blanco River during the week. There are only a few choice spots right on the water with trees for shade and easy access to the water. Get there early to score a spot! Beware the long grass area-rattlesnakes have been sighted.
1 Review First United Methodist Church is a Victorian Gothic styled church was completed in 1893 and has been serving congregations since that time. In 1939, 20 stained glass windows were added as memorials to the early builders. There is an 1872 bell in the four-story bell tower which had previously hung at...

The Root Cellar Cafe: Fresh food in the square
klasher Says: My favorite restaurant in San Marcos. Currently it is BYOB, I'm not sure how long that will last! The cafe has a casual and intimate setting and the waitstaff are friendly and remember you when you come back. Everything I have eaten there is fresh and well prepared. The menu...

klasher Says: 42 beers on tap and 20 in bottles are available at the Tap Room. There are excellent specials almost every day; discounted beers, half price appetizers every night and more. The burgers are the best I have found in the Central Texas area. Casual
Austin Bergstrom International Airport (AUS)
ATXtraveler Says: The closest airport to San Marcos is located in Austin and is a 45 minute drive or so from town. Austin is served by most of the main US carriers, and its airport code is AUS.
ATXtraveler Says: San Marcos is located south of Austin and north of San Antonio in Texas. Most of the activities in San Marcos are spread out, and with the exception of student transportation, the public system is not convenient for most travel.Likely, you will be traveling from one of those...

ATXtraveler Says: One of the popular activities in San Marcos is to swim and/or float on the San Marcos River. While in the river, you will likely want to be careful in certain areas, as the undertow can get very strong. The area of the small waterfalls next to Saltgrass Steakhouse is...
ATXtraveler Says: If you are going to make a trip to San Marcos, please consider leaving your pets at home. The San Marcos River in particular is a fragile ecosystem that is home to several endangered species. For example, there is a blind salamander which is delicious to pets, but in danger...
Javeing Says: The Outlet mall off of Hwy 35 North Avoid the outlet mall on the weekend. It can get packed. With people coming as far way as Mexico for a shopping trip. As well most of the “sales” will start that Monday and be picked over by the time the weekend rolls around. Your best...
klasher Says: Off the beaten path and a pretty drive through Driftwood brings you to the Salt Lick BBQ Restaurant. This is probably the best barbecue I have ever tasted. Oh-and it's BYOB! We sat on the patio and listened to the live band under the oaks as we toasted each other for being...

BifClaes Says: Float the river. It's only about a 45 minute float...the Lion's Club supplies the tubes and the ride back (it'll be about $10 a person when all said and done with a $15 deposit so you don't make off with the nifty yellow tubes) -...
