News and Announcements
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
If you are near the dam and hear the siren sound, you should prepare for a rapid change in water levels, because the siren signals that the amount of water being released is going to rapidly change. Boaters are also cautioned not to cross the buoy line at the intake structure as doing so puts you and the passengers in your boat in danger.

Grandpappy Point Marina Lake Elevation Update 5/4/19
As of 8:00am this morning the lake has risen to an elevation of 621.9’ and rising. The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers has released an update that the lake is expected to rise to 626.2’ by May 20, 2019. This is not a crest only a forecasted elevation to this date and only takes into account the precipitation that has occurred prior to the forecast issuance time. With more rain in the forecast, we are anticipating that we will see a rise in lake elevation faster than expected and predict that access to the road on the east side of the marina could be lost as soon as Monday, May 6, 2019. Once access is lost to the east side of the marina, ONCOR Electric will determine if power needs to be shut off for safety precautions. We will continue to keep you updated on the lake level and what areas of the marina will be affected.
February 3, 2019
The storm event of January 2019 is pretty much over and everything is back to normal.
Lake Texoma made history three times in 2015, first with record droughts then twice flood waters rushed over the spillway. Here we are in May 2019 and the lake level is above normal. Heavy rains over the watershed is causing the lake to rise. Keep up with the latest updates from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Lake Texoma water levels, road conditions, and local marina notices on this page.
