We are planning a weekend trip this coming weekend, and was wondering if anyone had any info about the lake. We have seen it, but never had a chance to go play on it. So does anyone have any advise? Is there any good places to eat, surf, deep water, where to go or not to go, where to put it at? ect.. Also is there any shallow spots that we need to avoid? I'm not sure how low the lake level is, but it didn't manage to bother about 200 boats that we seen.

Where exactly is Canyon Lake? Around Abilene? -
It's in between Austin and San Antonio. There isn't much water around Abilene.Comment

Yeah, I hear ya. We mostly go to PK but that is getting a little shaky these days. Going to Texoma for labor day....long freaking way...Comment

I havent been on that lake since I was a little rug rat so I cant comment on it. However, it looks like its down almost 10 1/2 feet. http://www.swf-wc.usace.army.mil/canyon/
A good place it eat and hang out is Gruene Hall in New Braunfels (about 20 minutes away). Also TSR Cable Park is close by too.Comment

Oh yea, Gurene is really fun! We are very familiar with that place.Comment

Was just at Canyon 2 weeks ago. Tons of beautiful water. Its extremely deep in some areas as my anchor would just dangle at times. Its down for sure but tons of water.Comment

Lake texoma is a sweet lake. I try to go once a year. Spent a week there over 4th of July.Comment

I haven't made a trip to PK this year, but they say that there are a couple of ramps you can use. I did hear is was a tad low. I guess just like everywhere else.
Texoma is a great lake. Three years ago we hit it a just the right time. NO WIND! It was glass accross the entire lake! Not too many boats either.
Thanks for the info on Canyon Bryancm! We will check it out. What was the depth when you were there?Comment

Jslayde1, have you ever tried Lake Allen Henry? It's a little man-made lake between Snyder and Post.Comment

I forgot to mention but when you go to texoma it got infested with zebra mussels the last 2 years so wipe your boat down thoroughly when u get off the water

I live on Canyon Lake, my response might be a bit late for you Roostergolf, but if anyone else is interested in visiting us: Can get crowded and rough on the weekends so don't expect to get much riding done. On weekdays you'll pretty much will have the lake to yourself and you can ride all you want. Also, later in the season the crowds thin out.
Level is okay, think we're down about 10' but still plenty of water, ramps start to close so the open ones get busy.
Water is a beautiful aquamarine color. I use to fly over it all the time on business trips and it looked like an oasis in contrast to all the brown countryside (why I moved here).
Lots of stumps if you get off the main body of water, so be careful back in coves.Comment

Rc_a,
You are exactly right! We had a great time! Very pretty water also. It wasn't too overly crowded, and we did get to surf quite a bit. Seen a few Tige's out there also. I spoke with a couple that had a really pretty Z3 too. Very nice people.Comment

Roostergolf, you talked to my wife when I went to go get the trailer. She enjoyed talking with you. You also convinced us that we absolutely need to get our windows tinted. Your boat looked awesome!Comment

Yes we do Alen Henry quite a bit - I grew up in that area around Lubbock. We were actually there the first weeeknd in August. I was checking out a couple Z3's.....one might have been you!!Originally posted by 383ws6 View Post
