Some of the scenery along the way.
UL: The new Espada Dam, part of the San Antonio Channel Improvements Project (SACIP), was built between January 1, 2019, and June 30, 2023, according to San Antonio River Authority. The dam's impoundment is known as Davis Lake. The primary purpose of the new dam is to maintain a base flow to the Spanish Colonial Dam on the west bank and allow flood flows to overtop the dam and flow down the improved flood channel.
LL: On June 13, 1691, Governor Terán and his company camped at a rancheria on a stream called Yanaguana They renamed the stream "San Antonio" because it was Saint Anthony's Day.
The San Antonio River is a major waterway that originates in central Texas in a cluster of springs in midtown San Antonio, about 4 miles north of downtown, and follows a roughly southeastern path through the state. It eventually feeds into the Guadalupe River about 10 miles from San Antonio Bay on the Gulf of Mexico.
