Rocky front 
below is the lowest ramp of three from the park we always used when we lived there. the water is now about two miles from the ramp. all that is there is that small stream of water. just about all the area in the picture should be under water.
here is the same area in 2009. when the lake is full this ramp is under water.
this is the same area in January 2011 when the lake came back some
here is the main ramp for when the lake is up from January 2011. there is a total of three ramps at this park but when the lake is full the other two are usually under water.

yes there is a huge dam. that is a result of our drought conditions that we have been in around here. it also does not help the big lake (Travis) that there is a constant level lake above (LBJ) and below (Austin). without a lot of rain she is going to drop even more than it is now. Right now there are no public boat ramps open on the lake. The only ones in the water are the marinas that built theirs really deep many years ago. some will let you launch for 20 to 30 dollars and some are only to members. this is why I am kind of happy to be on Waco lake now.

yep and it is on the north side. I had a friend that had a new dock built and used it for two day before he had to get the boat off. then about two days later there was only a few inches of water under it then after a week it was on the ground.

Okay, maybe free enterprise dictates that you should stake a claim on those "sometimes islands" and then sell the real estate!
Do they ever expect the water to rise to it's former level?
Two weeks ago I had to go to my friends cottage on Lake Muskoka (north of Toronto) to help him tie off his boats. they were in his boathouse, on lifts and just about floating. The level was 2' above the decks and 4' higher than last year. Worst flooding in recent memory. (last flood about 10 years ago only a foot or so ).
I thought that was a lot of water.... but what you are experiencing is missing a lot more water than that!
