Lake Conroe Report

Here is the latest lake report from the San Jacinto River Authority. We are expecting more rain this weekend also.

Lake Conroe’s Level Rebounds

After Mondays 2 to 4 inches of rainfall, on an already sodden watershed, Lake Conroe’s level has risen approximately ¾ of a foot to elevation 193.79 msl. These winter storms are crucial to recharging the lake, as much as possible, before we dry out again during the spring and summer months.
For those of you with boats beached on the reservoir, now is the time to be diligent in tending to your vessels so that they do not float away because of the rising waters. Adjustments should be made to mooring ropes on any vessels tied up in slips; as too much slack can allow them to bang around and ultimately cause damage to the watercraft and slip. Montgomery County Pct. 1 Lake Patrol Officers have responded to several calls regarding missing and damaged watercraft after this welcomed rainfall event.
More rain is in the forecast for the coming weekend and if we are lucky it will fall in Lake Conroe’s watershed in amounts significant enough to continue the upward trend. The SJRA will be monitoring these events in hopes of seeing the lake come back to full by summer.

Have a great day!
