Lookout Point Lake through the year
The band is the lake's own normal: where the level has run on each calendar day, 1980–2026. The summer drawdown — and how this year sits in it — shows up without reading a single number.
This year vs the years that matter
This year's trace against last year and the driest and wettest years on record — the drought-context question every lake regular asks.

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.
| Full pool | 926.00 ft NGVD29 · per USACE Portland District full-pool reference |

| Gauge | USGS gauge 14149000 · U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System |
| Datum | NGVD29 — Full pool = NWDP level 'LOP.Elev.Inst.0.Top of Conservation' = 926.0; large seasonal flood-control drawdown is normal (71.8 ft below today) |

LakeDates reports lake level, not ramp status. Whether a given ramp or marina is usable at this level varies ramp by ramp — call the marina before you tow.
