About Clendening Lake
Clendening Lake is a reservoir on the Brushy Fork in Ohio, operated by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Its full summer pool sits at 898 ft above sea level. Live water levels come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (CWMS) and update hourly.
Understanding Clendening Lake's water level
"Full pool" is the elevation U.S. Army Corps of Engineers targets when Clendening Lake is completely filled — 898 feet above sea level. Above that line the Corps deliberately keeps empty "flood storage" to absorb heavy rain, so the lake rarely sits far above 898 ft for long. A reading a few feet under full is usually just the normal operating band rather than a sign of drought.
In a normal year Clendening Lake sits highest through the summer recreation season and lower over winter, when the Corps makes room for storms. Extended dry spells in late summer and fall are what usually pull the lake noticeably below full pool.
The recent high and low above are drawn from the published history available for Clendening Lake, 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.
