About Lake Altus-Lugert
Lake Altus-Lugert is a reservoir on the North Fork Red River in Oklahoma, operated by U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. It sits in the Quartz Mountains of southwest Oklahoma. Its full summer pool sits at 1559 ft above sea level. Live water levels come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (CWMS) and update hourly.
Understanding Lake Altus-Lugert's water level
"Full pool" is the elevation U.S. Bureau of Reclamation targets when Lake Altus-Lugert is completely filled — 1559 feet above sea level. U.S. Bureau of Reclamation operates Lake Altus-Lugert mainly for water supply and irrigation, holding it near 1559 ft; the level drifts down through dry spells and the irrigation season and refills when rain returns, rather than following a flood-control schedule.
Lake Altus-Lugert rises after wet weather and falls through drought and the summer irrigation season, so a low reading usually reflects dry conditions across the basin rather than a fixed seasonal drawdown. A wet spring refills it; a dry year can leave it low well into the next season.
The recent high and low above are drawn from the published history available for Lake Altus-Lugert, so they show how today compares over that record rather than an all-time extreme. The 12-month and 5-year chart views make the trend and the lake's usual seasonal shape easy to see.
