About Toledo Bend Reservoir
Toledo Bend Reservoir is a reservoir on the Sabine River in Texas & Louisiana, operated by Sabine River Authority. It's one of the largest man-made lakes in the U.S. Its full summer pool sits at 172 ft above sea level. Live water levels come from the Texas Water Development Board and update daily.
Understanding Toledo Bend Reservoir's water level
"Full pool" is the elevation Sabine River Authority targets when Toledo Bend Reservoir is completely filled — 172 feet above sea level. Sabine River Authority holds Toledo Bend Reservoir at a conservation pool near 172 ft for water supply; the level mainly rises and falls with rainfall and drought across the basin rather than following a fixed seasonal schedule.
Toledo Bend Reservoir 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 Toledo Bend 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.
