Canyon Lake History and Facts
Construction of Canyon Dam on the Guadalupe River Mile 303 began in 1958. It was constructed to serve two purposes - flood control and water conservation. Flood protection is provided to 157,250 acres of land downstream from the dam. The high canyons of the upper Guadalupe have a channel capacity of 40,000-50,000 cubic feet per second. The channel on the lower Guadalupe River has a capacity of only 13,000-30,000 cubic feet per second; therefore, the lower Guadalupe River Basin had been especially subject to serious flooding. The construction of Canyon Dam on the edge of the Balcones Escarpment has been very effective in protecting the lower Guadalupe River Basin. Canyon Lake is not a constant level lake and boat houses and docks are not allowed on this lake. There are several public boat ramps located around the lake. Boating, water skiing, jet skiing and fishing are allowed.
