The River Walk’s new "Museum Reach" which stretches north along the San Antonio River and connects the existing River Walk  to the San Antonio Museum of Art and  the 125-year-old Pearl Brewery, a vibrant urban village. New public art installations, by local, national and international artists, line the banks. A lock and dam system, the only one in Texas, overcomes a 9-ft. rise in elevation.  Take a river cruise and navigate right through the lock and dam.
