Also, are there any Canyon Lake boat ramps open? These are the questions we get constantly know however rightfully so since Canyon Lake is currently at historic lows BUT there is still plenty of water and two boat ramps open as of May of 2024. The good news is that Comal County is extending 3 of the boat ramps while the lake is down and doing much needed work to another which means in the future, Canyon Lake will be much easier to access in future drought situations. First, lets discuss which boat ramps are currently open as of May 2024: OPEN: Canyon Lake Marina – Boat Ramp #19The boat ramp is technically open 24 hours (currently only on Saturday and Sunday) however you must purchase your day pass when the marina is open with is from 9am to 5pm. Same day purchases and next day purchases available. They will only allow you to pre-purchase a day pass for the next day. The pass cost $30 and you must park in the gravel area behind the gate and not in the restaurant’s parking area. Update on boat ramp #19 as of 6/28/2024:The reason that the ramp is only open on Saturday and Sunday is due to moving the Marina's boat slips out to deeper water. They were supposed to already be done with the construction however they have had some construction delays. They are not 100% sure on when the construction should be finished but it should be soon. The lady I spoke to on the phone on 6/28/2024 believes the ramp will be open on weekdays once the construction is completed. OPEN: Boat Ramp #18Boat ramp #18 is open 7 days a week even though their websites states only Saturday and Sunday. They are open from 7am to 1pm however once you are in, you can stay on the lake after 1pm. You just need to have your boat off the water and out of the park by 4pm or you could be towed. The Cost: if you vehicle is registered in Comal County, the cost is $5 per vehicle. If you vehicle is registered outside of Comal County it will run you $20/vehicle.
As mentioned above, Comal County is extending 3 boat ramps which is great news for boat owners and lakefront residence as well. Details include:
In future drought situations this lake will be much easier to access due to these ramps being extended. As most people know, Canyon Lake is a non-constant level lake however what they don’t realize is that it is the most constant (in my opinion) of the area non-constant level lakes. Why is this? Canyon Lake has less commitments to sell water downstream than other area rivers. We were out on the lake the other day (2/20/24) and found several spots on Canyon Lake still over 100’ deep. Let’s compare the non-constant level lakes in Central Texas as of May 23rd, 2024:
