The water came from the flooded Canyon Lake.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Canyon Lake Gorge is a gorge in Canyon Lake, Texas. It was formed on July 4th, 2002 when 70,000 cubic feet (2,000 m3) of water per second rushed downward from the Canyon Lake spillway into the Guadalupe River below for three days.[1] The gorge is a mile-and-a-half-long and up to 80 feet (24 m) deep.[1] The Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority manages the 64 acre Canyon Lake Gorge site. Officials hope to build a rim trail to overlook the canyon in the winter of 2007.[1]

Biblical creationists have said, as Canyon Lake Gorge formed catastrophically, that it should be assumed that all canyons formed catastrophically, in order to keep the earth's age within a biblical timescale of a few thousand years.[2]
