FreeThe water data

The water numbers, in a form you can act on.

Elevation readings are public. Making them mean something — is it up or down, is that a lot, can I still launch — is the part nobody does.

Today's level, and where it's heading

The current reading, plus how far the lake has moved overnight, this week, this month and this year. One glance tells you whether it's filling or dropping.

Percent full, storage and surface area

How much water is actually in there against how much it holds — the number that tells you what kind of season you're looking at.

Years of history, on one chart

Overlay this year against previous ones and see where you sit. Compare against the ten-year average, or the year's own high and low.

Ramps, tied to the level

Which ramps that level leaves usable, with the reported status where there is one — so the number turns into a decision about where to launch.

Inflow and releases

What's coming in from the rivers and what the dam is letting out, day by day — the two numbers that explain everything else.

LakeStats ProWeather and conditions$39.99 a year

The forecast for the lake’s coordinates.

Everything above is free. LakeStats Pro adds an ordinary weather forecast, pulled for the lake itself rather than for the town you’d otherwise look up — and sitting on the same screen as the water level.

  • Right now. Temperature and what it feels like, humidity, cloud cover, wind speed, gusts and direction, UV.
  • The next 24 hours, hour by hour. Wind and rain chance through the day, so you can pick your window.
  • Seven days out. Highs and lows, rain chance, and sunrise and sunset — for deciding which day to tow.
  • Conditions from people on the water. The forecast is a model; a report from this morning isn’t.

Forecast data from Open-Meteo, refreshed through the day. It’s a general weather model at the lake’s location — not a marine forecast, and it doesn’t predict chop.

Straight from the people who run the dams.

We don’t measure anything ourselves. The readings come from the Bureau of Reclamation, the USGS and the Park Service, and we check for new ones every half hour — then label each reading with the day it describes rather than the day it turned up.
