What this level means
Toledo Bend is a hydroelectric and water-supply reservoir, so the pool moves with generation and with rainfall in the Sabine basin. Conservation pool is 172.0 feet and the dead pool is 100 feet. Over the last 120 days the gauge near Negreet has moved between 168.62 and 170.61 feet, a narrow band that keeps concrete ramps in the water.
How this reading is taken
USGS gauge 312914093422701 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.
No operating agency publishes a full pool elevation for Toledo Bend Reservoir that we can cite, so this page shows the reading and its trend without a percentage.
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.
