Canyon Lake, Reservoir in Comal County, Texas, US
Canyon Lake spans 8,230 acres with a maximum depth of 134 feet, formed by a rolled-earth dam across the Guadalupe River near New Braunfels.
Construction of Canyon Dam began in 1958 after federal flood control authorization, with water impoundment starting in 1964 and reaching conservation level by 1968.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers manages eight parks around Canyon Lake, providing recreational spaces for local communities and visitors throughout the year.
Multiple access points and boat ramps allow visitors to enter the water for swimming, fishing, and boating activities across different sections of the lake.
A record flood in July 2002 exceeded the spillway capacity and created Canyon Lake Gorge through erosion, forming a new geological feature.
