Location and Access
The park is located at 1178 Comal Park Road, which is on the south shore of Canyon Lake not far from Startzville. The park boasts easy access and offers good parking. Its operating hours are from 8 a. m. to sunset from April through September.

The water is fairly clean. There is no shade near the water, so take your umbrellas and sunscreen. The beach cleanliness can be hit or miss: there are many dustbins throughout the area, but visitors don’t always deal with their trash properly.
