Is Tygart Lake full?
Yes, and then some — 28.8 ft above full pool as of September 24, 2026
How full is Tygart 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.
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 — The conservation pool swings hard with the season — about 1,039 ft in winter up to the 1,093.45 ft summer peak shown here as full pool — so a reading well above it in summer means the lake is holding flood water. |

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.
