What people ask

Quick answers

What is the Table Rock Lake level?

The Corps of Engineers posts the latest level on its Table Rock data page. On November 3, 2026 at 3 am it was 910.49 feet, 6.5 feet below the 917-foot top of the power pool that applies from June to November.

What is normal pool for Table Rock Lake?

The top of the power pool is 917 feet from June 1 to November 30 and 915 feet from January 1 to April 30, rising through May. Above that is the flood pool, up to 931 feet.

How big is Table Rock Lake?

79 miles long with a surface of 43,100 acres, stretching from just west of Branson into Arkansas. The dam is 252 feet tall.

Who controls the Table Rock Lake level?

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Little Rock District, which runs Table Rock Dam on the White River about 8 miles upstream from Branson.

Why is Table Rock Lake below 917 feet in the fall?

The target stays at 917 feet through November 30, so a fall reading several feet lower means less water has come in from rain and the rivers upstream than has gone out through the dam. The lake is still inside the power pool, which reaches down to 881 feet. In early December the target starts dropping toward 915 feet.

What does flood pool mean at Table Rock?

Anything above the 917-foot summer target is flood storage. The lake can hold water up to 931 feet before it's full, and the Corps releases the extra through the dam.
