What this level means
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.
