San Antonio River Authority Parks

After November 30, 2009, the San Antonio River Authority (SARA) will no longer operate Braunig Lake and Calaveras Lake Parks. Property owner CPS Energy will keep the lake parks open under new management, who will honor existing permits and reservations.

The San Antonio River Authority thanks all past and present park users for over 40 years of patronage to these lake parks. We encourage you to continue using them for various outdoor recreational activities.
