After multiple years of drought, South Central Texas has experienced a few flooding events since June 2025. While these floods have been devastating for many, they have also led to improvements in local area lakes and reservoirs.
Lake Level Improvements
The improvements are substantial enough that they can be seen from satellites in space. Canyon Lake, for example, was at its recent lowest in May 2025, at only 45% full. Now, it is 100% full for the first time since September 2021. Medina Reservoir was at a low of 2% full in May 2025 and now sits at 29% full, an increase of nearly 45 feet.
The Nueces River flooding in McMullen and Live Oak Counties has also contributed to the rise in lake levels, with flood waters gradually making their way to Lake Corpus Christi. The lake is expected to rise later this week.
