San Antonio River Walk

The San Antonio river is, and has always been, the lifeblood of this land and those who reside on it. Twelve thousand years ago, its earliest inhabitants witnessed a large, crystal clear, rushing body of water nearly 200 feet in width. The headwaters of the San Antonio River, located on what’s now the University of the Incarnate Word’s campus just 4 miles north of downtown, were first inhabited by Native American hunter-gatherers.
