Guadalupe River Conditions
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008Guadalupe River Conditions can change rapidly. The Guadalupe river flow is set by the dam at Canyon Lake run by the Army Corp of Engineers. It is highly regulated and well maintained to ensure safety and fun. During the rainy seasons the water can reach well above the banks of the river and exceed “normal” levels, in which case the Guadalupe river will be closed to swimming.
The current agreement between Guadalupe River Trout Unlimited (GRTU) and GBRA states that the minimum flows shall be as follows any time the lake reaches 909.0 msl after January 1st. (Which it did this year):
June 1-14 = 210 cfs
June 15-30 = 240 cfs
July 1-31 = 200 cfs
August 1-31 = 200 cfs
September 1-30 = 200 cfs
IF the gauge is over 1,000 cfs at the Sattler Gage for the Guadalupe River Flow then the river is closed to tubing for Canyon Lake until it falls below 1,000 cfs, usually set to flow at 600 fps @ midnight on Friday night during rainy weeks.
