Comal

This gauge is misnamed. It should be 'Comal River', not 'Panther Canyon'. Panther Canyon is a normally dry canyon above Comal Springs, the source of the Comal River. When it receives rain, the canyon creek flows into Landa Lake and eventually into the river, but it is not part of the river. The gauge in question is located a couple of miles away from Panther Canyon, downstream near the dam at the Prince Solms tube chute.

and if you count Landa Falls, it would be a III

(III) denotes that in certain conditions this river could be a class III. For instance high water causing strainers could bump a rapid to III. Its unforseen hazards.

class III? where?
certianly cant be the toob chute.

we run tube shoot all the time in winter months and haven't seen anyone there we put in park just above tube shoot,super fun @550cfs wave train goes all the way across and down far side .

We ran the Comal at 438cfs and the ledge and wave train were completely washed out. Only the tube chute was fun (and it was great-), however you run the risk of receiving a ticket for taking a boat down the chute. The bottom of the chute provides excellent eddy turn and jet ferry practice in highly pushy, turbulent water.
