About Logan Martin Lake
Logan Martin Lake is a reservoir on the Coosa River in Alabama, operated by Alabama Power. Its full summer pool sits at 465 ft above sea level. Live water levels come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (CWMS) and update hourly.
Understanding Logan Martin Lake's water level
"Full pool" is the elevation Alabama Power targets when Logan Martin Lake is completely filled — 465 feet above sea level. Logan Martin Lake is a generation pool: Alabama Power runs it to a licensed operating band around 465 ft rather than keeping deep flood storage above it. That means the level answers to the day's generation schedule and to how much water is coming down the river, so it can move noticeably between morning and evening and still be exactly where it is supposed to be.
Logan Martin Lake is normally held near its summer pool from spring through the recreation season, then let down over winter to the utility's cold-weather elevation so there is room for high water. Within any given week the bigger mover is generation: releases through the powerhouse pull the pool down and inflow brings it back, which is why a foot of daily swing here is routine rather than a warning sign.
The recent high and low above are drawn from the published history available for Logan Martin 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.
