Family members say one of the men was cleaning a grill after a cookout when he slipped and fell into the water. The other jumped in to save him. Neither was seen again.
One body was recovered on Thursday about 100 yards south of the spillway, according to police.
The identity of the body will need to be confirmed by the Dallas Medical Examiner.
Family members say the men recently came to Texas from Guatemala and had jobs as construction workers.
Teams have used helicopters, drones, boats, sonar and cadaver dogs as a part of the search.
