Currently this is the lowest it has been since August 10th 1951. Thought that was pretty amazing.
Got my info from River Gauges.com.

Creek if that! The channel is only maybe 20 feet wide above the spillway it's been a lake for so long it has filled the channel up.

I guarantee there was lots more water in it back in 1951 than now. 208 back then was drastically different than 208 now.

So is it that sea level has changed or that they counted different back then?

What he said. 208 now was 208 then, but the lake was much deeper in 1951, '61, '71, etc.
