Carol, the recent flood from the Upper Guadalupe didn’t just bring in logs—it carried serious runoff from rural sources: livestock waste, septic overflow, bacteria, chemicals, and urban debris. These contaminants don’t just float—they settle in coves and along the bottom where families swim and fish. That’s not fear—it’s fact.

We don’t push fake news or promote boating companies. We’re here solely to help the community—especially families—with accurate information, not to make a dollar.

You’ve encouraged boat rentals even in these unsafe conditions. That’s your choice—but it also explains the push to reopen the lake quickly, even before it’s fully safe. We’re choosing safety first.

We want the lake open too—just not at the cost of someone’s health or safety. When it’s clean and safe, we’ll be the first to celebrate alongside everyone else.

✅ Recent Official Facts & Sources
• Guadalupe‑Blanco River Authority (GBRA) strongly advises the public to stay off Canyon Lake and the Upper Guadalupe River for several days due to flood debris, fast currents, and traditionally elevated bacteria levels following the July 4–5 flood. 
• GBRA explains that bacteria levels traditionally increase after a flood event in the Guadalupe Basin watershed. 
• According to TCEQ and UGRA, the Guadalupe River above Canyon Lake has a longstanding Bacteria Reduction Plan (TMDL + I‑Plan), revised as recently as July 2025, highlighting persistent concerns over f***l bacteria in the watershed sourced from livestock, septic systems, and urban runoff.

🚨 Canyon Lake Update – Boat Ramps 21 & 22 🚨

This is a follow-up to my earlier post regarding the debris, possible contaminants, and trash entering Canyon Lake. As you can see in this recent video, the situation has not improved — large amounts of driftwood, organic waste, and what appears to be unnatural debris continue to collect at the shoreline near Boat Ramps 21 and 22.

💧 This is more than an eyesore — it could pose serious risks to:
• Swimmers and boaters (hidden underwater hazards),
• Water quality (possible pollutants entering the lake), and
• Wildlife and ecosystem health.

📢 If you’re heading out to the lake, please use caution, especially in these areas. And if you notice anything similar, don’t hesitate to report it to local authorities or share it here to raise awareness.

🧹 Let’s stay informed and protect the lake we all love. It takes a community to keep Canyon Lake clean and safe.
