Drying Elm Lake
Since the beginning of May, 2022, rainfall in southeast Texas has been much below normal, and the small lakes in Brazos Bend State Park have suffered accordingly. Though the lakes recovered a little during rains in the fall, they've begun to regress due to drought during the spring. This is Elm Lake, and the water level in normal times would be all the way up past the lower edge of the image frame.
