The small Texas Hill Country town of Seguin is located in a beautiful part of the Lone Star State, in Guadalupe County. Situated roughly 40 miles from the city of San Antonio, Seguin was established in 1838, under the original name of Walnut Springs. It was eventually renamed for Juan Seguin, who played an important role in the Texas Revolution. For a small Texas town, this place has lots to see and do! Here are three fantastic family activities to enjoy in Seguin!

There are some fantastic water recreation activities to be had in Seguin, not the least of which is paddling. Lake Seguin is the perfect setting for family fun, paddling along a slow-current trail for approximately four miles. You can get out to enjoy some beautiful sunshine and fresh Texas air, while paddling along, observing wildlife. Perfect for beginners, this trail takes paddlers approximately 1-3 hours, depending on the current water level and its flow rate, and accounting for the wind speed. Canoe and kayak rentals are available, or you can bring your own craft.
2. Visit Son’s Island

The Starcke Park Golf Course features an amazing “park” design with a laid-back feel and atmosphere, right along the Guadalupe River. It’s situated among a former pecan grove, making teeing off almost more enjoyable than getting a hole in one! The entire family is welcome to give this public, 18-hole course a go. It’s open daily, and tee times can be arranged at the link provided here.
