Hubbard Creek Reservoir through the year
The band is the lake's own normal: where the level has run on each calendar day, 2000–2026. 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.

Hubbard Creek Reservoir water temperature
84° as of August 27, 2026
Read from the USGS gauge in the reservoir near Breckenridge. It has only been reading temperature since late 2022, but the years it has run from the upper forties in February to the mid-eighties in August, which is surface water. One sensor is one spot on the lake. A shallow cove on a still afternoon runs warmer than this, and the water a few feet down runs colder.
Water temperature is not water safety. A warm surface says nothing about what is under it — colder water a few feet down, currents near the dam or the spillway, or a bacteria advisory — so check with the lake office before you get in.
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.
