Stillhouse Hallow

Water levels kept many Central Texans from enjoying area lakes this summer, but the crowds returned for one more weekend even though many of the area parks remain closed.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says Stillhouse Hallow Lake is filled with debris thanks to the recent flooding in central Texas.

All of this, as Ellis points out, has a big impact on the local economy. Gas sales are down, as are boat and kayak rentals, and even local grocery store sales.
