Is Boone Lake full?

TVA runs Boone Lake on a seasonal operating guide, higher in summer and lower in winter. We do not show a full-pool figure because TVA does not publish its targets in a form we can read automatically, so this page compares the level with past years instead. It is 0.04 ft higher than a year ago (1,370.94 ft on Nov 7, 2025).
