The Museum Reach section of the San Antonio Riverwalk includes a lock and dam system that raises boats approximately 9 feet, allowing them to navigate the river's elevation changes.
The Riverwalk Museum Reach is adorned with over 70 art installations, including sculptures and murals, created by local and international artists.
The Museum Reach provides direct access to the San Antonio Museum of Art, which is housed in a historic brewery building dating back to 1884.
The landscaping along the Museum Reach features over 11,000 native plants, which help support local wildlife and maintain the ecological balance of the area.
The Museum Reach extension of the San Antonio Riverwalk was completed in May 2009, adding 1.3 miles to the existing Riverwalk.
The 'F.I.S.H.' installation by artist Donald Lipski features 25 illuminated fish sculptures suspended under the I-35 bridge, creating a stunning visual display at night.
The Museum Reach is a segment of the San Antonio River Improvements Project, which aims to enhance the river's ecosystem and provide recreational opportunities.
