Medina Lake, located near San Antonio, Texas, was created in the early 1900s as a result of the Medina Dam construction on the Medina River. The lake has a surface area of 5,575 acres and a capacity of 254,000 acre-feet. The primary source of water for the lake is the Medina River, with additional inflows from Parker Creek and Black Creek. The lake serves as a source of drinking water and irrigation for surrounding agricultural areas. The lake also provides recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. The lake's hydrology is affected by the area's frequent droughts and the amount of snowpack in the surrounding regions. During droughts, the lake's water levels can drop significantly, impacting its recreational and agricultural uses.
