Lake Conroe

Lake Conroe explained

On the map, Lake Conroe is centered near 30.3569, -95.5603. Water leaves through the outflow =. It reaches roughly 79 feet at its deepest. It lies at roughly 200 feet of elevation.

Readings come from station 08067600 (Lk Conroe nr Conroe, TX). Conservation capacity is 417,577 acre-feet. That put the reservoir at 95% of its conservation capacity. The last value stored here, 199.98 ft, is from 2026-09-09. The agency sets full pool at 201.0 ft. Over the record shown on the level page the gauge has moved between 199.73 ft and 201.42 ft (low on 2025-11-28, high on 2026-07-15). Beach width and ramp access both move with the pool, so the number above is worth a look first.

Swimming season in Texas runs through the warm months, and day-use areas set their own opening dates. If the water looks like pea soup or paint, stay out and report it to the managing agency. There is no water temperature sensor here, so only air conditions are shown.
