Which river is better Comal or San Marcos?

SAN MARCOS RIVER The route takes about 3-4 hours and is the best option for groups. Additionally, the Comal & Guadalupe River have become VERY strict on drinks while floating, so if you plan on drinking while floating then I recommend the San Marcos above all other options.
