In a rare event, the gates of the Table Rock Dam were opened recently due to heavy rain that caused Table Rock Lake to rise to record levels.
 |
Table Rock Dam was constructed in the late 1950's. The dam, built on the White River to control floods and generate hydroelectric power, created the 43,100-acre Table Rock Lake with a shoreline of nearly 800 miles. Table Rock Lake received its name from a rock shelf that stands high above the White River about one mile downstream from the dam site. The lake, along with nearby Lake Taneycomo, has created an area with outstanding recreational opportunities.
