Elevations for Branson Area Lakes <\/p>\n

Recent record breaking releases at Table Rock Dam, in Branson, Missouri, have prompted an interest in the various “Pool Levels” of the various lakes located in the Tri-Lakes Area. The following document is a compilation of the Pool elevations Table Rock Lake, Lake Taneycomo, Bull Shoals Lake, for Beaver Lake, and Norfolk Lake compiled from US Army Corps of Engineers data on April 12, 2007 along with a link to each Lake leading to a a chart of the current lake elevations for that lake. All elevations are in feet above Mean Sea Level (msl). <\/p>\n
