About Pleasant Hill Lake
Pleasant Hill Lake is a reservoir on the Clear Fork Mohican River in Ohio, operated by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Its full summer pool sits at 1020 ft above sea level. Live water levels come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (CWMS) and update hourly.
Understanding Pleasant Hill Lake's water level
"Full pool" is the elevation U.S. Army Corps of Engineers targets when Pleasant Hill Lake is completely filled — 1020 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 1020 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 Pleasant Hill 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 Pleasant Hill 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.
