Medina Lake Thousand Trails RV Resort

I'm now in the "Hill Country" of Texas, just west of San Antonio, TX on the shores of what once was Medina Lake, a reservoir on the Medina River.  See recent news article.

Area: 8.478 sq miles Surface elevation: 1,063 feet Length: 18.02 miles Shore length: 110 miles Width: 3.107 miles Inflow source: Medina River   The last time I stayed at this Thousand Trails Resort was 22 years ago and there was water in the lake.  The "30 year Texas drought" has left the lake nothing more than an empty, open valley. There are dozens of "Out of Business" and "Closed" signs that I've seen just in my immediate area on resorts, water sports, fishing, boat sales & service, resturants, etc. Where have all the flowers gone?   Medina Lake (with water)   Medina Dam built in 1912   Medina Lake (without water)   OK, no problem     Fish ain't biting today?   A nice drive along the river bed   No Wake Zone! Boat ramp       The campground has thousands of deer living on the 260 acres among the 400 campsites.  The bucks, does, and fawns don't seem to mind the people, vehicles, and RV's living on "their" property.        Read the interesting history about the Spettel Riverside House On campground property, once used as offices and facilities for the resort
