Tres Rios RV Resort, Glen Rose, Texas ~~ Flooded & Dry

I have seen the Brazos River, Paluxy River, and Squaw Creek so high they flooded over their banks and into the resort, and also very low, low enough to walk in. Right now they are very low. There used to be a path down to a dock which had water underneath it all the time and where tubers would sometimes get out of the Brazos. When the Brazos flooded a huge tree fell onto the dock, crushing it, and then silty clay came down the Brazos enough to form an island under the dock and the area all around it. Now there is no water under the dock and I can climb down the path and let the girls loose to run in the rivers and all over the area.

The crushed dock is under this tree

The Paluxy is about a little over ankle deep, and we can walk quite a way down the Paluxy through the water and on the sand.

The Brazos is also low and there is a big rock island that sits in the middle of it. Hard to walk on it, so I usually do not, but it looks inviting to see what is down the river.

The Resort has a peaceful, shaded river walk that runs from one end of the resort to the other, going along the Brazos and Squaw Creek.

In April and May 2016, the Brazos and Paluxy flooded, so deep that the river walk flooded and the water almost came up to the cabins. The immense power of the water is amazing.

The next pictures show the flooding in the resort. This picture is looking down at the river walk, and the next one with the stairs and Hayley's head is looking toward the Paluxy from one of the cabins.

The stairs in these pictures are the same - one during the flooding and the way it's supposed to be.

The water is rising, but luckily it never reaches the cabin. Same sign - one during the flooding and the way it's supposed to look.
