What this level means

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.

Over the last 400 days the gauge has ranged from 199.73 ft (2025-11-28) to 201.42 ft (2026-07-15). These are the limits of that window, not all-time records.

How this reading is taken

USGS gauge 08067600 measures the water surface and publishes the value continuously. This page stores the latest reading at build time and refreshes the record daily, so the figure above is a real measurement rather than a model or an estimate.

Full pool for Lake Conroe is 201.0 ft, so the gap between the reading and that number is what the reservoir is missing.

Elevations are given in feet above the gauge datum used by the operating agency. Two lakes are only comparable with each other through how full they are, not through their raw elevation, because each dam sits at a different height.
