I think I will throw my 2 cents in here as well. My understanding is that Martin Dam is required by federal law to release a certain amount of water to maintain downstream navigation. This is a main reason why you see the lower water level. The full pool level is based on average rain fall throughout the summer. We are in an exceptional drought therefore the lake will be lower and there is not much we can do about it. For those of you without year round water, life on the lake is not much fun this year. I have heard alot of complaining from newbies to the lake about the water level. All I can say is deal with it. This is a fact about Martin. If you don't like it then you should have bought a lot with year round water. It has happened before and it will happen again.
