Mission Reach Paddling Trail Access Point

The Mission Reach Paddling Trail extends for 8 miles along the San Antonio River, featuring multiple access points marked by blue poles for launching watercraft.

The trail flows through areas connected to the San Antonio Missions National Historic Park, which received UNESCO World Heritage Site designation in 2015.

The waterway connects several mission sites while passing through 400 acres of restored riparian habitat that showcases native Texas flora and fauna.

Paddlers need to plan for a portage around Espada Dam, located 1200 feet south of SE Military Drive, by carrying their watercraft to reenter below Mission Parkway.

The Davis Lake section stands as one of only two designated areas in San Antonio where stand-up paddle boarding is permitted on the river.
