South Texas Edge
Lake Dunlap is a quiet, undeveloped Guadalupe River reservoir near New Braunfels that sees a fraction of the traffic of larger Hill Country lakes. The relatively shallow lake with flooded timber edges is excellent for bass and crappie fishing and attracts a variety of wading birds. Canoe and kayak access points are informal — launch at the county park and explore the coves.
Shade Details
Exposed lakeside launch area. Cedar and live oak along the upper coves provide some shade. Afternoon glare on the water can be intense.
Conditions & Tips
Dam controls lake level — can drop significantly in drought years. Check GBRA dam operations before visiting. Good bass fishing in spring and fall.
