The City Tube Chute is a water slide carved into the side of the City’s dam on the Comal River. It diverts tubers around the dam as they float the river. It is an exhilarating ride that attracts tubers from all around the area and is the longest of its kind in the world. The City Tube Chute facility features tube rentals and personal flotation devices.

Safety
Due to the strong current in and around the chute, it is recommended that weak swimmers wear lifejackets to help keep them safe. Shoes are also recommended as rocks and broken glass in the river can easily cut bare feet.
There is a two minute drop off zone at the entrance to the City Tube Chute and Hinman Island Park. Please do not park or unload in the grass or a non-designated area, as this will result in your vehicle being ticketed and towed.
