There is a station 7 miles away, Hoover Reservoir at Central College OH, but it does not measure this lake. No public gauge reports the water level at Alum Creek Lake, 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.

Nearby water includes Hoover Reservoir (Ohio, 7 mi), O'Shaughnessy Reservoir (Ohio, 9 mi) and Griggs Reservoir (Ohio, 14 mi). In all, 35 lakes in Ohio are covered here.

Most Ohio day-use areas open for the summer season and close outside it. Inland lakes are not monitored the way ocean beaches are, so posted signs matter more here. Water temperature is not measured at this lake by any public agency we read.
