The All New Museum Reach Section of the San Antonio Riverwalk

On Saturday May 30th, 2009 a wonderful new section of the San Antonio Riverwalk opened to the public. After over a decade of planning and construction, the new Museum Reach section was unveiled to the public. This new section of the Riverwalk adds 1.3 more miles to the most popular attraction in the state of Texas. Starting roughly at the Holiday Inn El Tropicano Riverwalk Hotel, the Museum Reach portion of the Riverwalk features beautiful landscaped grounds, wonderful walking paths and some wonderful displays of public art. River barges now cruising the river now pass through a lock and dam system as they make their way up river turning around at the Pearl Brewery Complex.

If you would like to ride the new Museum Reach section of the Riverwalk, simply look for a barge with large red and black checkered flag on the back. They are the river taxi boats that operate in that area. Get the drivers attention and he or she will pull over to the side and pick you and your party up. The cost of the ride is $10 per person and is valid for unlimited rides for the next 24 hours. Parking for the Museum Reach section can be found on the streets around the Holiday Inn El Tropicano Hotel, in and around the Riverwalk VFW Post 76 and at the Pearl Brewery site.
