Visitors, businesses welcome higher water levels

Eric Bullard traveled from Killeen May 15 to visit and fish on Lake Buchanan – just after a swell of several days of stormwater deposited into the waterway.

He put in at the Burnet County Park public boat ramp, just off FM 2341 on the east side of waterway about mid-lake.

“Two or three weeks ago, the trees were more visible from the water level,” he said. “Even though they’re not as visible, they’re still a potential hazard because they’re right below the water level.”
