Water Returns to the Lake Waco Wetlands

Published on November 08, 2026

The Lake Waco Wetlands are flowing again, following a major pump improvement project. Water is once again flowing from the North Bosque River, bringing new life to this important ecosystem!

While it will take a few more weeks of water flow, wildlife is already making a comeback! Waterfowl have been spotted settling in, and even a bobcat has made an appearance! With migratory season approaching, we're excited to see what other wildlife returns.

Visit the Lake Waco Wetlands at 1752 Eichelberger Crossing to enjoy the natural beauty and stop by the Research and Education Center to learn more about this unique habitat. Pedestrian access to the Wetlands is available even when the center is closed.
