As of 9 a.m. Thursday, the park says the river level has receded, and flow has slowed.
SPRING BRANCH, Texas — After urging people to stay out of the water on Wednesday, the Guadalupe River State Park now say the “river level has receded.”
In a Facebook post Wednesday, the park said that due to recent rainfall upstream, water levels had risen significantly at the park.
“What may look calm on the surface can be deceptively dangerous below—strong currents, swift flows, and fluctuating water levels are currently making the river unsafe for recreational activities,” the post said.
The day after, the park updated their page to say that the river level had receded, and the flow had stopped.
“While the flow is looking good, water clarity is still murky due to recent rains,” the park said in the new post. “It typically takes about a week of dry weather to clear up. And as always, swimming is at your own risk in any natural body of water.”
They said trails were now open to all users again.
