Is Lucky Peak Lake full?
Not quite — 102.8 ft below full pool as of September 24, 2026
How full is Lucky Peak Lake? Not as a percentage: no storage figure comes through with this gauge reading, and a share of capacity worked out from the elevation alone would be a guess — how much water a reservoir holds at a given level is a curve only the operator's own capacity table knows. Feet from full pool is what the operator publishes, and it is the figure above.
This year vs the years that matter
This year's trace against the finished years this gauge has published. Its public daily record begins in 2025, so the driest and wettest years are not named yet: that takes 8 finished years, and the lake regulars will remember wetter and drier years than any line here.

Full pool, datum, and the gauge
"Full pool" here means the conservation pool — the level the lake is designed to hold for water supply and recreation, not the flood-control space above it. The full explainer covers flood pool and dead pool too.
