GPS Welcome to the Gorge Preservation Society Views of Canyon Lake Gorge Join GPS today to promote the enjoyment and conservation of this unique natural phenomenon. Welcome to the Gorge Preservation Society During one week in the summer of 2002 more than 34 inches of rain fell in the upper watershed of the Guadalupe River setting off a torrent of floodwater that carved a perfectly fascinating geological wonderthe Canyon Lake Gorgeout of the earth. The flood roared through the Hill Country northwest of New Braunfels tearing away soil ripping up huge trees crumpling houses and sending a rush of water from swollen Canyon Lake over its spillway for the first time since the reservoir was completed in 1964. The historic flood sliced open the ground below the spillway creating a gigantic 64acre Gorge and exposing ancient cretaceous limestone fossils and even dinosaur footprints 110 million years old.
