What this level means
Readings come from station 07314800 (Lk Arrowhead nr Henrietta, TX). Over the record shown on the level page the gauge has moved between 921.16 ft and 925.07 ft (low on 2026-09-08, high on 2025-08-05). The last value stored here, 921.14 ft, is from 2026-09-09. The agency sets full pool at 926.0 ft. Conservation capacity is 230,359 acre-feet. That put the reservoir at 72% of its conservation capacity. 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 07314800 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 Lake Arrowhead is 926.0 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.
