Lake elevation history

Lake or reservoir elevation · USGS gauge 1505248590

Reading the chart. This gauge reports absolute lake surface elevation in feet above its datum (typically NGVD29 or NAVD88). Sustained drops of more than a foot can expose shallow launch ramps and shoal areas.

Water levels respond to dam operations, irrigation drawdown, snowmelt, and recent rainfall. For launch decisions, combine the trend here with the wind forecast — low water plus strong wind makes steep, tired ramps.

Water level data comes from the USGS gauge above; wind is modeled for the lake’s coordinates by Open-Meteo. Always confirm conditions locally before launching — shorelines, ramps, and trees can all change what you feel on the water. West of the Rockies, wind follows the gaps: passes and river canyons channel strong flow onto the water, afternoons run windier than mornings, and mountain lakes in particular can build fast as the slopes heat up.
