Rio Vista Dam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rio Vista Dam is a dam in San Marcos, Texas.
The dam was badly damaged during the flood of 1998.[1]
Following a $2.1 million USD project, the dam was reconstructed with artificial rapids, and reopened on May 25, 2006.[2][3][4]

The Rio Vista Park is a 13-acre park located on the dam, which serves as a local hotspot for swimming, tubing, canoeing and kayaking.[5][6][7]
