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.

| Datum | NAVD88 — 62615 = elevation NAVD88. USACE operates the Menasha/Neenah dams to a seasonal strategy rather than a single full pool - no fixed full-pool elevation published; use seasonal band. Stage record (00065, gage datum 743.91 NAVD88) goes back to 1882 for deep history. |
