The San Marcos River flows from springs located on the Texas State

The Research Center for River Recreation and Tourism at Texas State University-San Marcos is an interdisciplinary center that draws a variety of perspectives to help foster river stewardship through appropriate recreation and tourism. The Center's purposes and vision emphasize the commitment to stewardship of river systems, including springs, wetlands, and estuaries, as well as the main river courses.

The Center's activities focus on research and technical assistance, plus education. The Center is located in the Department of Geography and works closely with the River Systems Institute, the Center for the Study of the Southwest, and the program in outdoor recreation at Texas State University-San Marcos.
