Low Inflow Protocol — Stage 2
Duke Energy has conservation measures in effect for this lake.
On September 9, 2026, the Tuckasegee River Basin entered Stage 3 of the Low Inflow Protocol (LIP) due to significantly below average rainfall in the area for the past several months and very low stream flows. As a result, lake levels are declining, and recreation flow schedules have been reduced as required under Stage 3 of the LIP. As these dry weather conditions continue, the community is asked to limit water use and to conserve energy which also saves water. To ensure the safety of boaters and protect property, some boat ramps may close temporarily due to declining lake levels. Any closures will be listed on the Duke Energy Lakeview app and Duke-Energy.com/Lakes. Updated lake levels are available any time at www.duke-energy.com/lakes, by calling 800.829.5253, or on the Duke Energy Lake View mobile app.
