Swimming at Canyon Lake
There are three parks around Canyon Lake that have official designated swim beaches.
- Potters Creek Park has a beach for registered CAMPING guests only.
- Comal and Canyon Parks have beaches for the general public.
- We do NOT have any life guards on duty. All of the beaches and shoreline are swim if you choose. You are responsible for your family and friends that are swimming with you. Keep a vigilant eye on them and always wear a floatation device certified by the Coast Guard. Arm floaties do not count as a quality floatation device.
At the Comal Beach we do have a limited number of loaner life jackets.
Once you have finished using a loaner, please return it to the loaner board. Other families and guests may need a vest so their kids can have a safe enjoyable day.

Use common sense and good judgement when choosing to swim. Always wear a Life Jacket while at the beach.
