About Lost Creek Reservoir
Lost Creek Reservoir is a reservoir on the Lost Creek in Utah, operated by U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. Its full summer pool sits at 6005 ft above sea level. Live water levels come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (CWMS) and update hourly.
Understanding Lost Creek Reservoir's water level
"Full pool" is the elevation U.S. Bureau of Reclamation targets when Lost Creek Reservoir is completely filled — 6005 feet above sea level. That is the elevation Lost Creek Reservoir 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 6005 ft is normally the season rather than a shortage. Judge it against the same week last year, not against full.
Lost Creek Reservoir fills on mountain snowmelt through spring and early summer, then declines through the irrigation season and into autumn. How high it gets is set by the winter snowpack rather than by summer rain, so a thin snow year shows up in the level all the way through to the following spring.
The recent high and low above are drawn from the published history available for Lost Creek Reservoir, 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.
