Lake Wood
Lake Wood was also known locally as H-5 Reservoir or Guadalupe Reservoir H-5.
On March 10, 2016, after substantial rainfall, one of the reservoir gates failed, essentially draining Lake Wood. The area where the lake was is now overgrown and forest like.
Fish and plant life
Lake Wood was stocked with species of fish intended to improve the utility of the reservoir for recreational fishing. Fish that were present in Lake Wood include catfish, white crappie, sunfish, and largemouth bass. Vegetation that was in the lake include cattail, pondweed, American lotus, spatterdock, rushes, water hyacinth, water lettuce, and hydrilla.
Recreational uses
The Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority maintains a 35-acre (14 ha) park with a store on the lake with facilities for camping, canoeing, and fishing.
