Learn more about San Marcos

Float down the San Marcos River where turtles sunbathe on logs, seemingly unimpressed by your tubing adventures. Texas State University gives this small city a youthful energy that spills into the historic downtown square. The LBJ Museum offers a surprisingly intimate look at the former president's local connections. Wonder World Cave beckons underground explorers with its earthquake-formed passages. The Meadows Center lets you peer into spring-fed waters so clear you'll swear the boats are floating on air. After river adventures, browse the quirky shops along the square or hunt for bargains at the Premium Outlets. This college town manages to feel both eternally youthful and deeply historic.
