Water Recreation Guidelines

Laws that apply at both the river and lake:

Effective January 1st, 2009, WORD of Comal County passed an ordinance banning open plastic containers of 5 ounces or less from the District waterways.

This ordinance is aimed at reducing litter from what are commonly known as "Jell-O shots". This is not a ban on that substance in and of itself, only the plastic containers it is commonly stored within.

There are no bans on biodegradable containers, or containers larger than 5 ounces. District waterways include all of the Guadalupe River from the Guadalupe State Park down to Gruene, as well as Canyon Lake.

For questions about this ordinance, please contact the WORD office.
