Answers

Questions about Florida lake levels

Where can I check Florida lake levels?

This page lists every Florida lake with a public USGS or Corps of Engineers gauge, refreshed hourly.

What is the level of Lake Okeechobee?

12.19 feet NGVD on the last Corps report.

Why do some lakes read gage height?

Those gauges sit at the lake outlet and report the local gage, not lake elevation.

Why are some lakes missing?

Most Florida lakes have no public real-time gauge.

What is NGVD29?

A vertical datum; lake elevations in Florida are commonly reported in feet above it.

How often do readings update?

Hourly on this site; the source agencies update daily or every 15 minutes.

Do low levels close ramps?

Yes. FWC marks ramps closed for low water; each ramp page shows its status.
