About Possum Kingdom Lake
Possum Kingdom Lake is a reservoir on the Brazos River in Texas, operated by Brazos River Authority. Its full summer pool sits at 999 ft above sea level. Live water levels come from the Texas Water Development Board and update daily.
Understanding Possum Kingdom Lake's water level
"Full pool" is the elevation Brazos River Authority targets when Possum Kingdom Lake is completely filled — 999 feet above sea level. Brazos River Authority holds Possum Kingdom Lake at a conservation pool near 999 ft for water supply; the level mainly rises and falls with rainfall and drought across the basin rather than following a fixed seasonal schedule.
Possum Kingdom Lake rises after wet spells and falls during drought, so a low reading usually tracks how much rain the basin has had rather than a planned drawdown. Hot Texas summers speed up evaporation and demand, which can pull the level down quickly between storms.
The recent high and low above are drawn from the published history available for Possum Kingdom 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.
