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):
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 was first called this, after Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe by Alonso de León in 1689. It was renamed the San Augustin by Domingo Terán de los Ríos who maintained a colony on the river, but the name Guadalupe persisted. Many explorers referred to the current Guadalupe as the San Ybón above its confluence with the Comal, and instead the Comal was called the Guadalupe. Evidence indicates that the river has been home to humans for several thousand years, including the Karankawa, Tonkawa, and Huaco (pronounced like Waco) Indians.
