The Lake of the Ozarks winter drawdown is about to begin: that means the Lake s water level will be dropping by several feet in the next couple of months.
LAKE OF THE OZARKS, Mo. â The annual Lake of the Ozarks winter drawdown will begin soon, and Lakefront home and dock owners should be aware of a few things.
Ameren owns and operates Bagnell Dam, and regulates the Lake level throughout the year, in cooperation with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE). The utilities company drops the Lake level by about 6 feet during the winter in anticipation of spring rains, which can fill the Lake quickly. During the winter months, the water level at the Lake is lowered to the 654 mark.
