The talk of the town in the last few days has been the River North river walk expansion project in San Antonio…also dubbed the Museum Reach, which includes the section between Lexington Avenue and Josephine Street near the Pearl Brewery. Today was the grand opening of this section.
The section boasts a number of features including public restrooms, exhibits by local artists, pedestrian bridges, fish lunkers (shelters), and the lock and dam complex. The lock and dam complex takes approximately 8-10 minutes to allow entry and exit of the barge and to displace 40,000 gallons of water. My brother took a series of photos and turned it into a video montage of the lock and dam process. Enjoy!

I am going to get on the River Taxi at the Locks and travel up to the Museum Reach then go down the Lower reach, getting off and eat dinner then get back on and return to the Locks. I will have 8 people.
This will take place around 6 PM.
Where can I park my cars.

My apologies for the late response, but I would recommend parking at The Pearl. There are some great restaurants there (here’s a list) and nearby (here, here, and here) with more things to do on the way.
You can find more information about the river barges at Rio San Antonio Cruises.
