Conveniently located half way between Austin & San Antonio, San Marcos is home of Texas State University, Aquarena Center and the sparkling clear San Marcos River. Over 150 million gallons of water are produced daily by over 200 springs, and the water bubbles to the surface through fissures in the earth at a constant 72° year round from deep within the Edwards Aquifer. There are over 100 observable species of underwater plants and many species of aquatic life, including 5 that are endangered.
