From the looks of Lake Arlington, water levels are getting back to normal. The first picture was taken in October, 2005; the second one, today.

Goooo Lavon - 05-09-2007, 11:33 PM


I cannot wait for Lavon to fill up all the way, that way the boat ramps will all be open again!!!



Oh, and I'll be able to water more than once a week.

Great comparison, Bruce! I hear that Grapevine is a couple of feet above what's considered normal. This is very good news.

As I stated before in another post, I hope all you fishermen went out to the lakes while they were low and took photos of some of those "honey" holes. I would have marked them with a GPS also.

Lewisville Lake is at normal level for the first time since prior to 2005.
http://www.town-mall.net/lakes/lakelewisville.html

It looks so much better now with what I consider to be a "normal" shore line.

Check out all the local lake levels here... http://www.town-mall.net/community/texas_lakes.html

Lavon is currently only 1 foot low. I'd consider it to be full.
