What this means

Nothing unusual at Trial Lake right now: the lake level of 9,803.92 ft is in the normal range for mid-October. That reading is from Oct 13, 2026, so the gauge may be offline or reporting late.

That puts it 5.07 ft above the median of 9,798.85 ft for mid-October, based on 24 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 9,793.48 ft (+10.44 ft).

The water is rising: up 0.48 ft over the past week. Over the past 30 days it has moved between 9,803.37 ft and 9,804.54 ft.

Lakes and reservoirs often sit lower in fall after a summer of evaporation and use, and recover with winter rain and spring snowmelt.
