Lake Waxahachie water level

What this level means

Readings come from station 08063600 (Lk Waxahachie nr Waxahachie, TX). Conservation capacity is 11,060 acre-feet. That put the reservoir at 80% of its conservation capacity. The last value stored here, 527.95 ft, is from 2026-09-09. Over the record shown on the level page the gauge has moved between 527.81 ft and 532.31 ft (low on 2026-01-17, high on 2026-06-07). Full pool is 531.5 ft. Check the reading the morning you go if your plan depends on a specific ramp.

How this reading is taken

USGS gauge 08063600 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 Waxahachie is 531.5 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.
