The Prince Solms Tube Chute channels the Comal River through a walled flume in Prince Solms Park at the head of the river. It is one of New Braunfels' signature water features and a popular free public swim and tube run. Texas Parks & Wildlife Magazine ranks the Comal River among Texas's top swimming holes, citing the tube chute and spring-fed clarity. Tubers typically put in upstream at Landa Park or Hinman Island and float toward the Guadalupe confluence. Coordinates mark the tube chute in Prince Solms Park on the Comal River.
