Horseshoe Bay Now original community information feature. This is general guidance, not a live news alert.

A successful day on Lake LBJ starts before launching. Check the forecast, lake conditions, and any current advisories from the responsible local authorities.

Bring properly sized life jackets, drinking water, sun protection, and a reliable way to communicate. Know where you are launching and review local boating rules, including speed and no-wake requirements.

Thunderstorms can develop rapidly in Central Texas. If thunder is audible, head toward safe shelter rather than waiting for conditions to worsen on open water.
