River Conditions/flow
Guadalupe River conditions can change rapidly. The Guadalupe River flow is set by the dam at Canyon Lake operated by the Army Corps of Engineers. It is highly regulated and well maintained to ensure safety. The Guadalupe River is, however, prone to severe flooding. During the rainy seasons the water can reach well above the banks of the river and exceed “normal” levels, in which case the Guadalupe river will be closed to swimming. If the flow gauge exceeds 1,000 cubic feet per second at the Sattler Gage, then the Guadalupe River is closed to tubing within the City of New Braunfels.
