Statement from City & New Braunfels Police Department:

"The City of New Braunfels is following Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s guidelines for reopening our community, including river recreation. The City’s goal is to create an environment where social distancing is possible for those that choose to enjoy our local parks and rivers. However, visitors to those parks and rivers also have a personal responsibility to help limit the spread of COVID-19 and they should commit to following the Governor’s orders and safety precautions, including social distancing. The New Braunfels Police Department's goal for enforcement is voluntary compliance. There will be extra officers on duty along the Comal and Guadalupe rivers this weekend, and when necessary, they will speak with those who may not be following the social distancing guidelines implemented by the Governor's office, with the goal of educating and seeking compliance. NBPD asks that anyone coming to New Braunfels be safe while enjoying our community."
