Best answer:
The nearest lake with the full range of waterborne activities is Canyon Lake. Canyon Lake is a beautiful setting on the crystal-clear Guadalupe River about 45 minutes northeast of the city. Take I-35 towards Austin. Go through the town of New Braunfels and exit at Hwy 306. Turn left and go about 20 miles then look for the signs. New Braunfels itself is a great place for outdoor activities. It has two clean spring-fed rivers, the Guadalupe and the Comal that flow through it. The water is cold but it's a fabulous time. Tens of thousands of people from all over Texas come here every summer to go tubing on the rivers in New Braunfels. New Braunfels is also home to Schlitterbahn, rated by the Travel Channel as America's best waterpark. Other than that, the only major outdoor activity that San Antonio is really known for would be the Riverwalk. It's a beautiful stretch of the San Antonio River in downtown SA that's very beautiful and is lined with many shops and restaurants. You can take a boat tour in this area as well or rent a paddle boat. Nearby Austin also has many opportunities for outdoor adventure. Barton Springs is a spring-fed swimming pool run by the city. Also, Lake Travis is a huge, clean lake to the west of the city with ample boating and fishing opportunities. Lake Travis is also home to Hippie Hollow, Texas' only legally-sanctioned, clothing-optional beach (well, it's not truly a beach - there's no sand - but there's no shortage of large flat rocks to lounge on). Austin's about an hour northeast of SA on I-35. To get to Lake Travis/Hippie Hollow, take I-35 north to Austin. Exit at HWY 71 (Ben White Blvd) and turn left (a new interchange was under construction last time I was there so it may just be a matter of taking the right ramp). After a couple of miles, HWY 71 splits off to the left. Follow the signs for "Capital of Texas Highway," HWY 360. This is a gorgeous drive with great views of Austin. Continue until you pass over Lake Austin on the large Pennybacker Bridge (it's big - it's metal - it's impossible to miss). After the bridge, exit and turn left onto HWY 2222. Then just follow the signs.
