Reservoir Levels • Weather • Hydrology
Canyon Lake is a man-made reservoir located on the Guadalupe River in Texas, near the city of New Braunfels. The lake was created in the 1960s with the construction of the Canyon Dam, which was intended to provide flood control and a reliable water supply to the surrounding areas. Today, the lake is used for a variety of recreational activities, including fishing, boating, and swimming. Hydrologically, the lake is fed by several smaller tributaries, including the Rebecca Creek and the Spring Branch, which contribute to its surface flow. Additionally, snowpack from the nearby hills and mountains can also provide a significant source of water to the lake. The agricultural uses of the lake are limited, but it does provide water for irrigation in some nearby areas.
