Question: What is the shortest river in Texas?

Answer: The Comal River. The 3-mile river originates from several large springs in southeastern Comal County, flowing through New Braunfels to the Guadalupe River. In the 1800s, the river powered gristmills, sawmills, and textile mills. With a year-round temperature between 70 and 72 degrees, the river is one of the most popular tubing destinations in Texas, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors every summer.
