Highway 897 is the road that crosses the lake. Only other road you can see anything from is 1396. It dead ends into lake but is has a turn around spot there

Lake manager says it will be open to the public when level reaches 524 on KXII story.

Just text a friend that was a head inspector at the lake. Says it Will Not open till it reaches 534 or rite at it. They will consider it to be safe before they open it. They were on it last week with a barge and lift picking up floaters. Also he said they will close all boat ramps and access if it ever drops to 524 or below.

Makes no sense for them to open it up 10 ft low

Go to KXII.com and you can read the story. I am just quoting the article.

He also told me TPWD will be doing surveys this fall and Spring of 2023 to see if they think it will handle the pressure when it opens.

Who's gonna be the first person to guide on it after being on it only 3 times?
