One of the public boat ramps on Lewisville Lake is out of service until the water comes back up.
The city of Lake Dallas closed the boat ramp at Willow Grove Park because of low water levels, according to a notice the city posted Thursday, Oct. 22. The notice says the city will post an update once the lake returns to a depth that can handle boat access, and it gives no estimate of when that might be.
Where the lake stands
Lewisville Lake measured 518.06 feet above sea level at 10:15 a.m. Friday, according to the Texas Water Development Board's reservoir data. That is 3.94 feet below the lake's conservation pool elevation of 522 feet, according to the board.
The board's daily averages show the lake at 518.46 feet on Sept. 23 and down to 518.09 feet by Sept. 30. It climbed back to 518.58 feet on Oct. 4, then slid by a few hundredths of a foot on almost every day since, reaching 518.07 feet on Oct. 23.
Over the same stretch, the board's measure of how full the lake's water supply pool is slipped from 83.7% to 82%.
