The picture below is 'click-able' and then it is also 'zoom-able'.

The 'floor' of the main spillway is at elevation 813...
The chutes are 33 feet tall...
The lake level is now at elevation 842...
So the water level is now down just below the top of the chutes.
(the emergency spillway visible on the far right is at elevation 900)
This picture was taken in August of 2016, just 6 months ago...
