Hill Country Lake Levels

How full the lakes are, as a percentage of capacity, from Water Data for Texas. The source updates a few times a day — this is not a live gauge and it is not a report on conditions at the water.

What "per cent full" means

It is storage against conservation capacity, not depth and not how the water looks. A lake at 60% can still have every ramp open; a lake at 95% can have a ramp closed for repair. For whether a specific ramp or park is open, the park or the river authority is the thing to check.
