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

might be just a river after its all said and done
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.Quote:

I guarantee there was lots more water in it back in 1951 than now. 208 back then was drastically different than 208 now.
Yeah I bet you do . Rofl
So is it that sea level has changed or that they counted different back then?Quote:

We all could add 10 foot depth of this silt to our yards and still not be at the lake depth that it was then.Quote:

The dam was put into operation in 1943.
The Stage Aug 10th 1951 was 193.5. I would say that 1943 through 1945 wouldn't count as it was filling up still. Although the 193.5 isn't a record (I guess you could call Feb 9 1944 the record (192.3) but it is still something. Wish I could post the spreadsheet--it is pretty interesting (if you like numbers)
well looks like they the gauges are back to normal so have to make a correction. The last time it was at this level was 1957 in November--not that it really matters just had to correct the error:)
