Canyon Lake

"Where Water Sports Are King"

 


Canyon Lake, Texas, weather forecast


Canyon Lake, located in Comal County, Texas, is one of the state’s premier destinations for water sports and outdoor recreation. Spanning approximately 8,230 surface acres with 80 miles of shoreline, the lake lies along the Guadalupe River, about halfway between San Antonio and Austin—just 14 miles northwest of New Braunfels via FM 306. With an average depth of 43 feet, it is also one of the deepest lakes in Texas, offering ideal conditions for a wide range of aquatic activities.

Canyon Lake is a favorite among boating enthusiasts, with multiple boat ramps and marinas providing easy access to the water. Jet skiing, wakeboarding, water skiing, sailing, and tubing are all popular here, thanks to the lake’s size and consistently clear waters. Anglers will also find excellent fishing, with abundant populations of Largemouth Bass, Catfish, and both White and Striped Bass. Originally stocked in the 1970s, the lake has become a top-tier fishing destination.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers oversees eight public parks around the lake that support water-focused recreation. Cranes Mill Park and Comal Park on the south shore, and Potters Creek Park, Canyon Park, Jacobs Creek Park, North Park, Overlook Park, and Guadalupe Park on the north shore, all offer boat launches, swimming areas, and lakeside access for water sports. Several parks also provide camping, picnic facilities, and trailer accommodations for extended stays.

Just below Canyon Dam, the Guadalupe River provides another water-based adventure: tubing. Easily accessed from FM 306, this stretch of the river is one of the most popular tubing spots in Texas, with numerous outfitters offering rental gear and transportation services. Whether you're in search of high-speed action or a laid-back float, Canyon Lake delivers an unmatched water sports experience in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.
