ive fished a tx there at 314" in the early 2000's
Dam 320. In 1987 we tried launching at the old route 1 steel bridge. Ramp was closed so decided to launch at Kerr lake North bend 4-29-1987'
Park Rangers would not allow us to put boat in water as too dangerous.
Water Elev. Was 319.67
. We drove across dam on Carolina side and was told to leave due to possibility of dam failure.
Remember trees on middle islands were barely visible.
All of the spillways were open.

Rudds Creek Ramp the lower level is under water, Army Corps has closed North Bend til the 29th. I spent all of my work day at a WMA so I didnot see all the ramps like I usually get to.
U can get ready to see your Gaston dock get flooded nowOriginally Posted by JINXBASS
Been following the water levels of both lakes since I was suppose to have a TBF semi final tournament on Kerr this weekend, but it was relocated to Gaston. From the look of things, it seems like Gaston has been steady near full pool while Kerr has been rising.

Gaston is not a flood control lake, so the window for lake levels is much smaller unless they declare a flood control condition.
I have hard time typing on my phone. Part I left out this morning is that when we crossed back over the dam we went to county line park. Water was past picnic tables. Determination, shoes and socks off. Got my uncle in the boat and then back boat as fat before exhaust was underwater and launched boat on road leading down to the ramp. Yes we caught some fish under picnic tables.
Crossed James at 95 Richmond and I would not risk my life or boat under the river conditions now...

Good News for Campers! Kerr Lake elevation is leveling off enough (309 ft.) to allow the Corps to partially re-open sites in Buffalo, North Bend, Rudd's Creek and Longwood Campgrounds this Saturday, September 22nd. Many of the sites are still closed for flooding and minor damage issues, and we are working to repair them. We want to ensure that our customers can return to the Lake they love as quickly as possible. For questions, please call the Kerr Visitor Assistance Center at (434) 738-6143.
Ramps: Closed --Palmer Pt, Buffalo, and Bluestone.
