Canyon Lake has been making headlines all summer for record low water levels but more recently, the receding water revealed a cave that was previously hidden underwater and one man who works on the lake went to look inside.
JM Perez, who works at Canyon Lake Marina, spoke with KSAT on Wednesday and said he’s been watching the water drop day by day.Perez went to check out the cave on Tuesday afternoon and shared photos from inside, telling KSAT he only went back about 10 feet but he estimated the cave likely went back about 30 feet.Cave that was previously submerged at Canyon Lake.“I saw lots of stalagmites. No writing or anything. It was beautiful,” Perez said.
He also shared photos of the old Hancock bridge near Boat Ramp 17 and the remnants of an old house that was also a part of the town. Bridge that used to go into the town of Hancock now visible after Canyon Lake water level recedes due to drought, little rainfall.disappeared from the map after Canyon Lake, which is actually a reservoir, was created. Construction on Canyon Lake Dam started in 1958 and was finished by 1964, but the lake wasn’t filled to the conservation pool level until 1968.
Current water levels at Canyon Lake are measuring around 890.91 feet, meaning the lake is roughly 65.6% full, according to Cave exposed at Canyon Lake.
