According my daily tracking of lake level, Canyon got roughly a 6 inch bump in the water level. This is good news because at the current release rate, this is 2 weeks of water.  The more back to back rain we get, the greater the run off will be, if the ground is saturated already.

Again "Let it Rain".

That's great news.  Let's keep it coming.  Raining hard in Lakeway at this moment.

Well from a year low of -12.11, the lake has recovered to -11.59. 

Come on more rain, please.

The rain has put 2.75 feet of water in Canyon as of this morning. Hoping it will go a little higher.

Now the level is   899.88 /  -9.12 low.

Yesterday          897.21  /      -11.79

Congrats.  That's awesome.  Travis is catching a bit of rise as well.  Was up 6" in a day as reported yesterday.  We'll see what it does with the latest round -- though we missed the heaviest fall.

Wow, this is the type of rain we need, level up to 901.48      -7.52 .  Put 4.25' in the lake!!!!!   :)

That's great!!  I wish the rain we had around here would have helped but Waco has barely rose any.

Dayum, may need to come down with mine for a Spring run with ya if this keeps up!

Maybe the annual ABF early spring run could take place at Canyon? Just a thought.

Update:  Level still up, now to  901.60      -7.40

If the lake doesn't come up we may have to :)

Still going in the right direction:      901.67      -7.33

Looks as things have leveled off, three days now at:          901.70      -7.30

More rain, please!!!

Well, it lasted as long it could, but the Lake is again in decline:  901.65         -7.35


Need those winter rain storms.

Maybe I shouldn't have waterproofed the boat cover.  The repellant might be acting like the force shield around Lake Travis.

After another week of spotty rain the Lake seems to be holding at about the same level, but down just a tad:    901.64      -7.36

i have the boat trailered right now for the winter i would love a run at canyon always wanted to go there.  nice camp ground to put the RV out and make a nice weekend of it.

Still got a lot of rainy winter left! Hopefully it keeps going. Looks like most of the area lakes keep filling until around March.

Been delinquent with my weekly update.

So, as far as Lake Level today it is staying pretty much the same since Nov 5th, lost a little but overall not as significant as it was losing this past summer.

901.52      -7.48

From what I've seen from the water, Potters Creek looks like a very popular camping / RV place.  It does have a ramp, just not sure when it becomes unusable at what lake level.  Quick phone call should have you an answer when and if you decide to come down.

Well, it looks like the Lake is holding fairly steady, good news!!!

901.49      -7.51

Update:  Lake still went up a little, then continues down at slow pace.  Kinda holding steady around -7.5 the last week.

901.46      -7.54

Made a spreadsheet to  keep track of net loss for the month.(too bad it can't be gain!!!)

But so far, for Jan the net loss is 2.04 inches.

Lake Level today:    901.25      -7.75

End of the Month update:  Jan net loss of   -0.32 ft       -3.84 in.


Lake level as of today:  901.10      -7.90


Everyone is going to have to help Capt Yarrr do his Rain Dance.

Although I hear he is contributing to the  level by the hose, two engines now running, exhaust spitting  water and singing the high performance song!!!

Mid Month update:

net loss for Feb so far is 1.32 in

Lake level:   900.99      -8.01

We're going to be in trouble if we don't get our usual spring time rain bump.

End / Beginning of Month update for Feb:

Net loss for the month of Feb was just 2.4 inches, not too bad.  Had a little rain to help that number.

Lake level as of today:   900.88      -8.12

Calling for rain today, lets' hope it is a drench-er!!!

Middle of Month update for Mar:

Net loss so far for the month of Mar was just 1.2 inches, not too bad.  Had a little rain to help that number.

Net loss since Jan 1 is 7.44 inches.    :'(

Lake level as of today:  900.79      -8.21

Just need some daily / weekly showers to aid in at least holding this level.

I'll wash two of my cars today.  That might help trigger some rain.

End of month update:

Net loss for the month of Mar was   4.08 inches,    not too bad.  Had a little rain to help that number.

Net loss since Jan 1 is     10.32 inches.    :'(

Lake level as of today:    900.55        -8.45

Need some daily / weekly showers to aid in at least holding this level.

Wow time flies!!  Been negligent in updating lake level!!

Lake Level is at 9.25' low at this time today.

April loss was 6.12" (biggest loss in a month so far)

Loss since Jan 1st is about 1' 8".   (16.44")

Release rate has increased fro 52cfs to 55cfs now.


Need some rain real bad.

Catch any of that today?

It rained it's ass off today in Dallas while I was working...but of course my lawn was dry when I get home. Got some a few minutes ago but looks like the lake was missed as usual.

Looks as if Canyon Lake got about three days (.05") worth of a reprieve with the system that went through the last two days.  This is at the current release rate of 55cfs.   -9.20'
