Rain showers have brought a glimmer of hope for the future of Canyon Lake.
“An inch or two is not going to reflect that much, but we do need some heavy rainfall for a period of time,” says president of Canyon Lake Vacation HomesThank God for the heavy rain,” said Scott Degrassi, president of Canyon Lake Vacation Homes.
The prolonged drought caused water levels at the lake to reach a historic low. Degrassi said the lake has now dropped from 14 feet to 18 feet low. Leaving the shoreline can be tricky once a boat is on the water, as the drought has exposed new dangers for boaters. The drought has exposed remnants of a city submerged. The business owner has heard of graveyard tombstones being sighted at the lake, and now underwater caves are on full display.“It’s very exciting that the silver lining in all of this is it has revealed some of our beautiful landmarks, such as the underwater caves and a few other things that you’ll see here,” Degrassi said. “Canyon Lake originally was a city, and it being a limestone bottom, on a very sunny day, you can see 15, 16 feet down.
