Lake-day Fun for Every Age near New Braunfels!
Picture your own private island for the day: kayaks and paddleboards, a rope swing into clear spring-fed water, beach volleyball, fishing, and frog slides for the kids — plus a shady cabana with a grill to call home base. That's Son's Island on Lake Placid, 20 minutes from New Braunfels and 45 from San Antonio. Book a cabana and make it a lake day to remember.
