You gotta figure that with that many people on the lake, there will be a certain amount of "added fluid".....you know, from all the "warm spots."

Ok let's try;
40,000 acres@ 43,560 sq ft/acre = 1,742,400,000 sq ft x 10ft. =
17,424,000,000 (yes, 17+ billion) cu. ft. x 7.48 gal/cu.ft. =
130,331,520,000 gallons of water.
I think that's right....

Roswellric gave it a good try but actually the number of gallons would be much less. One would need some calculus and a function that descibes the change rate in the surface area of the lake as a function of the water level.
The lake would be a lot less than 40,000 acres at, say, the 480' level.
However, it would be (technical term here) a whole lot of H2O!!!
