I don't know. Anyone? Good question - I agree that they used to drop it more in the winter in the past, but the exact number of the winter drop? I don’t know. Anyone?

If so the 1941 reading is not a true indicator. I know they dropped the lake 22 feet in the winter in the mid sixties to work on the dam. Many of the old towns and home sites were visable. Any info wil be appreciated. thanks, CHARMED LIFE Someone help me…seems I remember there being a correction to the full pool number maybe 30 or so years ago…full pool is the top of the water above sea level, not the depth of the lake….this was due to better technology and is more accurate.
