Guadalupe River Conditions

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

Guadalupe 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):guadalupe river conditions
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.

The Guadalupe River – a description of the body of water

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

The Guadalupe River runs from Kerr County, Texas, to the San Antonio River near the Gulf of Mexico. The river is a popular destination for rafters and canoers. Larger cities along the river include New Braunfels, Kerrville, Seguin, Gonzales, Cuero, and Victoria. The Guadalupe has several dams along its length, the most notable of which forms Canyon Lake northwest of New Braunfels, which forms the beginning of the famous Guadalupe River Float Trip.
