The level of Canyon Lake has risen more than a dozen feet due to recent rainfall after being at its lowest in 60 years. Boat ramps closed for more than a year have reopened. The lake was 46% full three months ago, but was 67% full on Friday, July 18 after rising nearly 14 feet. KSAT 12 Online (San Antonio, Texas), July 18, 2025 Canyon Lake remained low, and all boat ramps were still closed. Spectrum News 1 - Austin (Texas), June 16, 2025 The last open public boat ramp on Canyon Lake has closed due to the low level of the lake. Ramp 18 in Canyon Park no longer safely reaches the water allowing boats to be launched. "As of October 30th, the lake level is at 882.42 and there is less than 14 feet of concrete ramp remaining with a severe drop off at the end. At this time, we have made the difficult decision to close the ramp completely effective November 1st, as we do not believe it will be safe to use for launching any watercraft. If the lake rises this fall/winter, we will absolutely consider re-opening the ramp for public use," according to a statement from the Water-Oriented Recreation District.
