Bois d'Arc Lake elevation, full record

87.6% full at the latest reading - across the storage record since December 1, 2021 it ranged from 26.1% (February 2, 2022) to 100.0% (July 20, 2026). Percent full is storage against the 367,609-acre-foot capacity basis, not a share of the elevation plotted above. Every percentage here is measured against today's capacity basis; a reservoir's surveyed capacity changes as sediment accumulates behind the dam, so early-record percentages are indicative rather than exact.
