The level comes from gauge 08043000, Bridgeport Res abv Bridgeport, TX, and carries the time it was taken. The last value stored here, 836.18 ft, is from 2016-11-09. That put the reservoir at 77% of its conservation capacity. Conservation capacity is 372,183 acre-feet. The agency sets full pool at 836.0 ft. A falling pool widens the beaches and shortens the ramps, so it is worth checking before you drive out.

Swimming season in Texas runs through the warm months, and day-use areas set their own opening dates. Check the operating agency for advisories before any water contact, especially for blue-green algae in late summer. Water temperature is not measured at this lake by any public agency we read.
