Mississippi lake levels: common questions

Are Mississippi lakes low right now?

1 of the 6 Mississippi lakes with enough history to compare is in the bottom quarter of its own October record. That seasonal comparison matters more than the raw level: reservoirs are drawn down on a schedule, so a lake several feet below full pool in October may still be entirely normal for the date.

Which Mississippi lake has changed most this week?

Okatibbee Lake has risen the most, -0.22 ft over seven days, and Arkabutla Lake has fallen the most at -4.50 ft.

How often do Mississippi lake levels update?

Each gauge publishes on its own schedule. Most report at least daily, some hourly. This page is rebuilt every day from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Geological Survey, and the number on an individual lake's page refreshes again in your browser when the agency posts a newer reading. Readings are provisional and can be revised.
