Here's a zoom out from the WW shot, showing a bit more of the usually-not-exposed shoreline:
(Perspicacious readers will remember that I've WW-ed the low lake level before)
On our most recent visit, however, we did see some signs of hope for those closed boat ramps. We've had a lot of rain (for us) the last several weeks, including a pretty big storm Friday night. So a hike around the place Sunday morning showed water still flowing into the lake, at least at our little cove:
(for reference, normal pool elevation has the water just below the top shelf shown here!)
As you can see, though, it's got a long way to go. The weekend's only occasional sunlight really showed up the beaches-that-shouldn't-be-there:
How long—if ever—before they get covered up again?

once la nina cycles into el nino I'll bet you'll see less of those beaches; and interior Texas is overdue for a nice wet hurricane....that reminds me, need to check on batteries and canned goods
It has been a long time since we've had a hurricane give us anything. They say the area's lakes would need above average rainfall for months to make up the deficit. Canyon Lake is down 9 feet, but Medina is down FIFTY feet!
