The spillway was first used in 1978. As of 2024, it has operated eight times. [8] During the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, Lake Casitas hosted the canoeing and rowing events. [9] The Thomas Fire at the end of 2017 had a significant impact on operations since the wildfire burned a large area within the watershed of the Ventura River. [10]
The dam's fixed-crest morning glory spillway has a maximum discharge of 73,200 cubic feet per second (2,070 m 3 /s). [ 3 ] [ 6 ] Watauga Lake has 106 miles (171 km) of shoreline and a storage capacity of 677,000 acre⋅ft (835,000 dam 3 ), [ 1 ] of which 152,829 acre⋅ft (188,512 dam 3 ) is reserved for flood control.
The 1993 record was surpassed by the June 2008 Midwest floods, [3] when water again flowed over the 712-foot (217 m) emergency spillway on June 12, 2008, and the reservoir crested at 717 feet (219 m) early in the morning on June 15, 2008.

At this point any further flow into the lake is channelled over an emergency spillway to the west of the main dam structure.
