FRIO RIVER

This serene Hill Country town boasts a treehouse hotel and an idyllic swimming hole.

The drought and heat are gripping South Texas and the lack of rain has led to questions about standing water in area lakes, rivers and popular swimming destinations.

Parts of Frio River are still open for swimming, but low water flow is leaving many areas dry.

On Wednesday, the official streamflow was measured at 0.0 cubic feet per second, which basically means... the river has no flow.

Heads up if you're headed to the Hill Country this weekend.

The full-color maps will feature a detailed guide to the city with numbered landmarks and a street index. The county map shows numbered roads and rivers. The Frio Canyon map denotes roads and Frio River crossings, along with featured businesses stretching from Leakey to Reagan Wells. The map is made possible through the support of businesses whose advertisements surround the various maps. Uvalde Leader-News graphic designer/sales representative Gloria Resma will begin contacting advertisers this week to participate in the map project.
