Welcome To Our New Site
The WORD website has been completely redesigned with user-friendly features such as an interactive map with business locations, water laws video, water laws chart with corresponding map of the WORD district, and a mobile-compatible site for easy browsing.
The iMap includes the following listings: lodging, camping & RV, tubing/kayaking, boat storage, watercraft rentals, and fishing guides. Information about each business such as address, phone number, and website will appear on the map. Any business listed on the iMap is subject to WORD ordinances. The City of New Braunfels laws do not apply.
The water laws video and chart with a related map also distinguishes the differences between water laws in Canyon Lake and other areas. It’s very simple:
- ·Leave glass, foam, and small plastic containers 5oz or less at home
- Stash your Trash. Respect the area by properly disposing of litter
- No trespassing on private property
Lastly, we are now smart and iPhone friendly. Don’t forget to bookmark the WORD website on your phone for river flow and lake level updates - after all, we have over 30 miles of floatable river with no new river laws. If you have any questions about the area or need clarification on water laws, contact us at 830-907-2300. Play it safe and have a good time while you are here!
