[2] The lake area temperature varies according to season:[3] Dam and Outlet Measurements[4] Dam elevations above mean sea level Lake elevations above mean sea level Surface area of lake Maximum storage capacity Shoreline length Other Power generating data The original purpose of the reservoir was flood control on the White River, receiving congressional authorization under the Flood Control Act of 1941.

When the reservoir is above the maximum flood pool, excess water goes over the auxiliary overflow spillway at the north end of the dam.

Using improved weather data and more modern technology and safety requirements, engineers determined that the lake would rise ten feet higher during the worst-case flood than previously calculated.

An event of this magnitude would overtop the earthen embankment and destroy Table Rock Dam with catastrophic losses in downstream areas, including Branson.

[6] Summary of projections:[citation needed] Table Rock Lake has a record crest of 935.47 feet, which occurred on April 27, 2011.

Campgrounds are managed by several different agencies and campsites range from full-hookup to non-electric tent sites[citation needed] For details about each of the US Army Corps of Engineers parks, check out Recreation.gov.
