Water level history
About Englebright Lake
Englebright Lake is a reservoir on the Yuba River in California, operated by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Its full summer pool sits at 527 ft above sea level. Live water levels come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (CWMS) and update hourly.
Understanding Englebright Lake's water level
"Full pool" is the elevation U.S. Army Corps of Engineers targets when Englebright Lake is completely filled — 527 feet above sea level. That is the elevation Englebright Lake reaches at the top of a good runoff year, not a level it is held at. Reservoirs like this one fill from winter storms and snowmelt and are then drawn down deliberately through the dry season, so the gap between today's reading and 527 ft is normally the season rather than a shortage. Judge it against the same week last year, not against full.
Englebright Lake climbs through winter and spring as storms and snowmelt come off the mountains, peaks around late spring, and falls steadily through summer and autumn as water goes downstream and flood space is reopened for the next winter. A wet winter can raise it dramatically; the low point almost always lands in autumn regardless.
The recent high and low above are drawn from the published history available for Englebright 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.
