About Lake Conroe
Lake Conroe is a reservoir on the San Jacinto River in Texas, operated by San Jacinto River Authority. Its full summer pool sits at 201 ft above sea level. Live water levels come from the Texas Water Development Board and update daily.
Understanding Lake Conroe's water level
"Full pool" is the elevation San Jacinto River Authority targets when Lake Conroe is completely filled — 201 feet above sea level. San Jacinto River Authority holds Lake Conroe at a conservation pool near 201 ft for water supply; the level mainly rises and falls with rainfall and drought across the basin rather than following a fixed seasonal schedule.
Lake Conroe rises after wet spells and falls during drought, so a low reading usually tracks how much rain the basin has had rather than a planned drawdown. Hot Texas summers speed up evaporation and demand, which can pull the level down quickly between storms.
The recent high and low above are drawn from the published history available for Lake Conroe, so they show how today compares over that record rather than an all-time extreme. The 12-month and 5-year chart views make the trend and the lake's usual seasonal shape easy to see.
