Lake Conroe Dam Releases & Upper River Inundation
Conroe serves as the northern anchor of the Houston metropolitan area. During heavy rain events across Walker and Montgomery Counties, the Lake Conroe reservoir rapidly fills. To safeguard the dam structure, emergency spillway gates are opened, discharging millions of gallons per second into the West Fork of the San Jacinto River.
This sudden release causes severe backwater flooding in low-elevation subdivisions bordering the river, as well as lakefront properties along April Sound, Walden, and Corinthian Point.
