Texas ski lakes

Last spring I flew to Dallas and looked at princeton and granbury lakes. My wife and I keep debating on moving.

I liked both places. I know I didn't get a chance to see all the lakes with homes for sale, but it gave me a good idea of what to expect.

 

I guess the one big question I have is water. I am have a concern about moving to a lake and then getting the season cut short because there isn't enough water. I am sure on some lakes it it more of a concern than others, but how much of an issue could it be?

Both Princeton and Granbury shouldn't be an issue. About the only place that it's really an issue is Aquaplex outside of Austin since they have no ability to pump water and rely solely on runoff. Most lake subdivision in Texas have groundwater pumps.

At Princeton we have a water well. The lake level has never dropped below operating range, even with most of us using the lake for irrigation. We've been here 5 years and absolutely love it. On a different topic, picked up my new 200CB yesterday...just in time for winter weather.

I'm a dfw skier, we ski just south of Dallas at Triple J. we are extremely low, it is skiable but in dire need of rain. i can only report on lake that i've seen lately, pecan cove in red oak is dire. thornridge near corsicanna is in good shape.

SMRR south of Austin is almost full thanks to being able to pump out of the river :)

Lakes of Katy, west of Houston, has been around for 8 years and has never had water issues. We have a well we use to stay full.
