What this level means

Readings come from station 03305990 (GREEN RIVER LAKE NEAR CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY). The agency sets full pool at 675.0 ft. The last value stored here, 674.88 ft, is from 2026-09-09. The top of the dam sits at 734.0 ft. The Corps of Engineers puts the top of the flood pool at 713.0 ft. Beach width and ramp access both move with the pool, so the number above is worth a look first.

How this reading is taken

USGS gauge 03305990 measures the water surface and publishes the value continuously. This page stores the latest reading at build time and refreshes the record daily, so the figure above is a real measurement rather than a model or an estimate.

Full pool for Green River Lake is 675.0 ft, so the gap between the reading and that number is what the reservoir is missing.

Elevations are given in feet above the gauge datum used by the operating agency. Two lakes are only comparable with each other through how full they are, not through their raw elevation, because each dam sits at a different height.
