About Lake Seminole
Lake Seminole is a reservoir on the Chattahoochee & Flint Rivers in Georgia & Florida, operated by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It sits where the Chattahoochee and Flint meet to form the Apalachicola. Its full summer pool sits at 78 ft above sea level. Live water levels come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (CWMS) and update hourly.
Understanding Lake Seminole's water level
"Full pool" is the elevation U.S. Army Corps of Engineers targets when Lake Seminole is completely filled — 78 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 78 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 Lake Seminole 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 Lake Seminole, 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.
