Wow, how sad. Medina Lake has some wonderful memories for me. A friend of mine had a cabin on the lake, and we would go boating and jet skiing, and do a lot of fishing. The lake also contained a lot of snapping turtles, we would have to be careful swimming. But we still had a blast. I recently just heard about Medina Lakes low level, it is shocking. I hope it can fill back up some day soon, and became the fun water get away for everyone again. Thanks for going out there and shooting this video, and giving us a close up look. Safe travels, and God Bless.

Wow sorry to hear about your drought and I hope you get plenty of rain this autumn and winter cheers brother nice video

Looks good Kevin thanks for sharing. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Good evening Kevin.

Sad to hear the lake is so low. Where you mention the lake should be up too and seeing the dam you can't even access is a shame. Scary. Things improved in California last year and hopefully some of that rain will make it your way! Thanks so much for the tour.

I remember the flood with the water going over the spillway. Everyone thought the dam was going to break and flood Castroville. We were even making what if evacuation plans since the Medina river runs next to Dominguez.

I can remember some wonderful memories of that lake growing up and visiting my grandparents at mico.

sorry about the drought, i'm still prayers for you guys to get rain every afternoon and evening. wow great drive and thank you for sharing!! have a good evening and weekend guys!!

So sad. I'm afraid our drought situation isn't going away anytime soon. It's good to see you out and about.

I was just a Canyon Lake and I’m starting to get some Medina Lake vibes. It’s the lowest I’ve even seen in my lifetime.

Hello & nice video shared of medina lake..Great weekend host..rgrds

Beautiful share!!!!! I love it!,!!!!!! Looks amazing 🤩!!!!!!!! Too bad about the drought,,,',,,,, thanks for the history!!!!!!!

That is definitely rough on the businesses, not even to mention the impact to wildlife. What a shame.

jackie boy❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😂😂 bless have a gr8 time brother **** even with the dought* here in portugal in interior we get rivers drying up*

So sorry to hear about this lake being so very low! Great to drive around with you and see the area, great information about the dam too. Is there even any water up against the dam?Too bad the local businesses had to close, and the park too. It sure did look like a fire went through there, but I guess all the trees just dried up. ☹ Thanks for documenting this and sharing! We really enjoyed our trip to west Texas and are enjoying learning more… thanks! 👍👍

This lake is on and off thru the years, used fish it many times over the years.

Wow that’s so low. I know many of our lakes and even rivers that are spring fed are so very low. We need some serious steady rain for a few days.

Wow, so much change to that area.. Sad that it has come to all the closures and the hit to those businesses. Will it ever get back to normal?

Nice video. So sad about the lake .

Have a great weekend Kev

I really hope they get some rain to help with the drought.

I have no doubt now there is weather control occurring at this lake. There is a lawsuit going on with SAWS. Maybe that's why. Peoples' wells are drying up. And the corn crop down towards Castroville looks like sh*t this year. It never rains here. It ALWAYS misses the lake. In fact there is rain right now that is missing the lake. It rains all around the lake but rarely over the lake or north of the lake where it needs to rain. I have dozens of documented radar screen shots and videos of this anomaly.

A lake that low. That is very sad. I think videos of natural places are very important. Mainly because they may not be there much longer. We take soo much and give back very little. I live by take what you need, not what you want and always give back.

Wow, I hope you get rain soon to fill the lake

🫢😲😢so sad we lived in Pipe Creek Texas, for 7yrs and our son Richard would takes us riding in his boat there and we would go to the Cajun Festival each year 🤗🥰🙏🏼🇺🇸thank you for sharing 🤗🥰🙏🏼

Have a good day!!

Medina and Canyon lake are so low.

It’s a global issue at this point. Excess water in some places, barely any in others… The animals who can migrate or travel great distances are indicators of things that are yet to come. Last year I did my best to get the hosts at Big Bend to close the campgrounds to help out the drought stressed bears (they mistakenly claimed the bears were after mesquite beans) and this year a bear nearly ambushed me in the desert because it was so hungry. Thank you for touching on the climate challenges, it is not focused on enough for it to be the *only* headline that matters in the way it could be… Not yet anyway.

Do another video of what it looks like now

I used to teach scuba and did some of our check out dives at Medina. So Sad!

Hi Kevin! 👋🙂

Medina lake was not built for recreational use it's a lake built for agriculture use

They should have never created Medina Lake in my opinion since, like you said, it has a small watershed.

🥲🥲🙏🙏

Medina is beautiful... why don't they irrigate the land to the lake? i'm sure they can get water running there from some source, in this & age it's ridiculous

That is sad not being able to access 🥲🥲🙏🙏
