What this means

Water is short at Mcgee Creek Reservoir: the latest reading of 571.71 ft is below normal for mid-October.

That puts it 3.97 ft below the median of 575.68 ft for mid-October, based on 36 years of readings. A year ago it stood at 575.21 ft (−3.50 ft).

It is still going down, by 0.49 ft over the past week. With the water still dropping, the shoreline keeps moving out. The 30-day range is 571.71 ft – 573.27 ft.

Many reservoirs are drawn down through summer and fall; most of the refill comes later, with winter rain or spring snowmelt.

Boating and fishing at Mcgee Creek Reservoir

Conditions at the shore change with the level, so check with the agency that runs the lake before a trip.
