Updated Lake Conroe Status: May 4, 2024 11:00am

CONROE, TX -- San Jacinto River Authority has reduced the release from Lake Conroe to 20,945 cubic feet per second (cfs). Lake level is currently 202.88 feet.

Lake Conroe remains temporarily closed due to the possibility of submerged objects, floating debris, and other hazards that could pose safety risks.

At this level, many docks, bulkheads, small islands, and other structures are fully submerged and can create a dangerous situation for boaters. In addition, high winds and rapidly-flowing water from local streams can result in a large amount of floating debris on the reservoir. With bulkheads becoming submerged, lake area residents should also be cautious of electrical outlets and equipment coming into contact with water.

We will continue to monitor rain and runoff in the area throughout the weekend. According to the National Weather Service, scattered showers are expected Sunday. We are in coordination with Montgomery County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management and Texas Department of Emergency Management.
