White Rock Lake, Dallas Needs Rain – Lots of it


The water level of White Rock Lake in Dallas is really low and the smaller streams have dried up. The ground is cracking in several places around the lake. The wildflowers are really small and going to bloom quickly because of the lack of water. White Rock Lake needs rain – lots of it!

The cracks below were at Celebration Tree Grove on April 29, 2012.

By the way, can anyone tell me why Macy’s Creek near the Bath House has dried up? According to locals, there used to be a perennial stream of water flowing through Macy’s Creek and that dried up some time ago.
