AS OF 4:45 PM, JUNE 17, PER THE DCYC CARETAKER:
Quick update from the lake. Surf is up! We’re in the back side of tropical storm Bill and the winds have kicked up to 30- 35 mph with higher gusts. We didn’t get alot of heavy rains and the lake doesn’t seem to have come up much, but more rain is forecasted and as you know lake levels continue to rise for hours after the rain stops. Docks and boats seem to be handling the storm with no apparent damage. Once the storm passes I encourage all boat owners check the status of there dock lines and boats. I will update you all of any changes that occur. I hope this helps. Aloha from the end of the road…

But then there’s Bill:
BRIDGE CLEARANCE, PER THE HARBOR MASTER
At the current 534.5′ Lewisville Lake Level, there is 49.5′ clearance.
How did we calculate this? First, we took a look at the NTTA Engineering report, to get the official 52′ clearance above the spillway level, which is at 522′. Then, we subtracted the height of the water above the spillway, 2.5′ (534.5-532).
From NTTA Engineering Report: ” The superstructure consists of 68 spans, each 120 feet in length, and a water craft passage span 360 feet in length. The water craft passage span provides a vertical clearance of 52 feet above the uncontrolled spillway elevation and a 350-foot horizontal clearance between span supports
