Canyon Lake
Canyon Lake, TX is spread out, hilly, and built around the water, which means the calls here look different from anywhere else we run. Wimberley Towing covers it from the Wimberley side, and the drive is real, so what you tell dispatch matters more than usual.
The roads that produce the calls
FM 306 and FM 2673 are the arteries, and they are steep, winding, and narrow in places. Startzville and the roads down to the ramps drop off sharply. The shoulders are soft, and a vehicle that leaves the pavement on a grade tends to keep going.
What we get called for here
- Boat trailers and launch ramps: a truck that cannot get back up a wet ramp with a loaded trailer is a normal call out here, and it is a winch job.
- Recovery on grades and soft shoulders: see off-road recovery.
- RVs and campers: the parks around the lake bring big vehicles onto small roads. See medium duty towing.
- Equipment and utility vehicles: golf carts, UTVs, and mowers, which are everywhere in the lake communities. See light equipment hauling.
- Motorcycles: FM 306 is a riding road. See motorcycle towing.
What it costs
Canyon Lake straddles county lines, so the police authorized rate depends on which agency ordered the tow. Non-police work is quoted by dispatch before the truck rolls, every time. See towing rates, and call (512) 375-1215 with your location and what you are driving.
