The project will convert the existing Westside Creeks models to either a 1D/2D model or a full 2D model, and will analyze them using Future Climate Hydrology based on 20-, 40-, and 60-year forecasted time frames. All results and conclusions will be presented to stakeholders, including the City of San Antonio, Bexar County, and FEMA.
Stream is temporarily unavailable due to maintenance. We appreciate your understanding.
When: Beginning October 20, 2025 through Spring 2026
What: Crews will be performing stem-density removal and related vegetation maintenance along sections of the Mission Reach to help manage flood risk and protect surrounding infrastructure. Some trails or segments may be closed temporarily while work is underway.
Why: Removing excess stems that naturally establish along the river helps maintain stormwater conveyance, reduces flood risk, and protects public infrastructure while allowing grassland and native vegetation to recover and thrive.
What to expect:

*Please Note: Paddling Trail from Helton Nature Park to HWY 97 is still closed due to blockages.
Staff have removed two large log jams just downstream of Helton Nature Park, keeping the southern portion of the SASPAMCO Paddling Trail temporarily closed. Staff are working to contact adjacent landowners to support a land-based removal solution.
