imo, the best place because it's the longest float (on the world's shortest river  ), parking is secure right there on the Wurstfest Grounds, & the first few hundred yards you have the river to yourself before the other companies dump their folks in at their starting point. It's about a 2 - 2 1/2 hour float.
Read up on the tube chute so they know if they either do or don't want to do it....it's fun but a little scary for some. Also read up on what containers are & aren't allowed. If this is a "family float", definitely do the Comal as your first float. Lots of rowdies up on the Guadalupe.....& since the Comal Springs are right there in Landa Park, the water is a heavenly 75-76 degrees. (It's the water used for Schlitterbahn).
My kid played at Newks for a couple of years....great training, but kind of a dumpy place. (but i like it).
Have fun & definitely check out Gruene & the Gristmill afterwards...if you've never been down to NB.
(But start your day early & end your day early for lots of reasons.)

Short update...we had lunch at the Gristmill and a bit of a tour of Gruene before dropping off 6 family members for the float down the Comal. Started at Landa Park and took them close to 3 hours. Couple of rules about floats and coolers and off they went. Had a great time...
Thanks for the advice y'all! (Only one
for the Gristmill, BTW...pretty slow and quite hot with no A/C)
