Episode Details

Austin’s waterways are off-limits—Lady Bird Lake and Lake Austin are temporarily closed to all boats, kayaks, and paddleboards starting Friday due to heavy Hill Country rains. Floodgates at Mansfield and Tom Miller Dams are open to release water, a rare move since 2019. Officials urge everyone to stay away from river trails as rising currents, debris, and dangerous bacteria make the water unsafe. The ban is expected to last until Tuesday at 5 p.m. while authorities manage the floodwaters.
