What this level means
The level comes from gauge 03091000, Milton Reservoir near Pricetown OH, and carries the time it was taken. Over the record shown on the level page the gauge has moved between 939.27 ft and 948.77 ft (low on 2026-02-04, high on 2026-04-05). The last value stored here, 947.60 ft, is from 2026-09-09. A falling pool widens the beaches and shortens the ramps, so it is worth checking before you drive out.
How this reading is taken
USGS gauge 03091000 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 Lake Milton 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.
