The (other) River Walk, San Antonio, Texas

We walked the two miles along the San Antonio River from Pearl to our hotel. I was surprised at the cement sides to the river and its lack of flow. What we were seeing was actually a controlled portion of the San Antonio River. Because of prior flooding, a tunnel had been constructed in 1990s, running 150 feet below the city, releasing the water downstream. We walked along a channel that held waters controlled by dams, flood gates and drains. It was a pleasant walk and we met many walkers and joggers. We saw some interesting scenes along the way too.
