I did a little research on your interesting question. According to FEMA maps, the lake is rated A2 506. As I understand it, this code means a 100 year flood will have the lake at 506'.

I checked this against Bizer's lake level chart and found that the highest lake level on the Bizer chart was in 1984 at about 505.85' Full pool for the lake is 504.32'

FEMA considers all flood controls impacting the specific areas, so they must be considering the Lakeport Dam. The bigger impacts from a 100 year flood seem to be down stream.
