About the medina river
The Medina River is located in south central Texas and stretches for 116 miles. The river was discovered by Alonso De León in 1689 and was named after the Spanish governor of Coahuila y Tejas, Pedro de Medina. The river is fed by numerous springs and tributaries and is a vital source of water for agricultural communities in the region. The river has several dams including the Medina Lake Dam, which was constructed in the 1910s to control flooding and provide a reliable source of water for San Antonio. The river is also popular for recreational activities such as swimming, fishing, and kayaking. The river's ecosystem supports various species of fish, birds, and other wildlife.
