Ashokan Reservoir at a glance

Ashokan Reservoir sits at 41.9500, -74.2167. The surface sits around 585 feet above sea level. Water leaves through the Esopus Creek. Maximum depth is around 190 feet.

No public gauge reports the water level at Ashokan Reservoir, so this page shows no level chart. We would rather leave the figure out than publish an estimate that nobody measured. We check the public feeds daily, so this page will fill in if one appears.

Absence from these datasets does not mean the water is closed, only that no agency lists a beach. Public datasets record no beach at Ashokan Reservoir, so treat any shoreline access as unmarked and unsupervised. If you need a named beach, Pine Ledge on Candlewood Lake is some 48 miles from here.

Nearby water includes Rondout Reservoir (New York, 16 mi), Neversink Reservoir (New York, 23 mi) and Schoharie Reservoir (New York, 31 mi). New York has 32 lakes on this site in total.

There is no water temperature sensor here, so only air conditions are shown. Water quality is monitored unevenly on inland lakes, so posted notices are the most reliable guide. Most New York day-use areas open for the summer season and close outside it.
