Lake Conroe Water Level History & Climatology
Station: Lake Conroe nr Conroe, TX (USGS 08067600) • Datum: NGVD29
How to Read Historical Percentiles
Higher than 90% of the 52 years on record for this calendar window (90th percentile).
A reading in the middle 50% band (25th to 75th percentile) represents typical seasonal operating levels. Levels below the 25th percentile signify drought conditions or heavy fall drawdowns, while levels above the 75th percentile occur after unusually wet weather or flood-storage impoundment.

Hydrology & Property Risk Context
Dock & Boat Slip Usability
Floating docks need enough water under their pivots and gangways during seasonal fall drawdowns. Fixed docks face grounding if lake elevation drops below the piling footings.
Calculate Slip Clearance →Seasonal Operating Rule Curves
Reservoirs managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or local river authorities intentionally lower pool targets in autumn to capture heavy winter and spring runoff.

Never buy a lake home based only on the water line you see on a single weekend. Check multi-decade low-water extremes to ensure your cove does not turn into dry mud during multi-year droughts.
