RE: Canyon Lake - July 4th weekend - 1st trip out
Beautiful pics man. I have an 09 230 and I go to Canyon Lake all the time as we live in Wimberley. Mine is solid white with the FCT3 on it and the same graphic as yours. We usually go out on Tuesday or Wednesday after work. Would love to see you'll out there sometime.2000 Four Winns 180 Horizon (sold)

Nice.
Did you get any good water over the weekend? I've never been to Canyon lake, but I only live 50 miles away. I heard that it can get rough on weekends.Previous:

We go one or two times a year. Skipped the May trip due to wind/weather, etc. We are planning a trip once the wind dies for the summer. We need rain something bad. I read on the site the lake is 14.5 ft down and many of the ramps are closed.
Maybe I'll go the week after the first tropical storm...although the water won't be as clear. I've got some nice pics I can post.Comment

The lake is very low and the Corp of Engineers just sold a whole bunch of the water to some company down stream, is what I heard. So, from what I understand, the lake will be dropping quickly in the coming weeks and that will close down all of the ramps very soon. I hope we get some good rain soon. The lake already dropped about a foot from last week to yesterday when I was out there.2000 Four Winns 180 Horizon (sold)

we had some smooth water each evening. during the day it was pretty rough with lots of rollers, but i prefer to wakeboard in the evenings and always have in my brother-in-law's boat so we just chilled during the day and wakeboarded when the traffic and wind laid down in the evening.Originally posted by mf01Comment

i think the lake was down around 13.5 feet. there are a lot of ramps that are closed, but the ramp traffic wasn't too bad considering it was a holiday weekend. they are actually re-doing a ramp or two while the water is low so they will be ready to go once the lake rises a little. if we don't get some rain up there soon, it is going to get even lower though as the river feeding into the lake is almost standing still.Originally posted by AirTool
there were a few storms around on Monday morning when we went out, but i didn't actually see any rain hit the ground.Comment

RE: canyon
This messy pic is about the best one I have that shows how clear the water is. This pic was actually after a flood which makes the water a little dirty. I've seen the deep end as clear as the gulf but green instead of blue.Attached FilesComment

RE: canyon
Anyone know the lake status? I just picked up a 00 Air this past weekend, and my cousins invited me down to their lakhouse on Canyon for this coming weekend. I have a flaky hummingbird depth finder, so hate to hit the lake in dangerous conditions without a relaible depthfinder....I have hit Lake Austin several times already and love the boat.Comment
