By Michael, independent developer behind zovo.one. Readings pulled live from the same USGS feed the operator reports to.
Lake Buchanan is 96.3% full as of Oct 11, 2026, per the Texas Water Development Board; the USGS gage reads 1,018.5 ft, 2.0 ft below full pool.
How the level compares lately
Over the roughly 30-day series the gage fell 0.2 ft; the last 24 hours moved it down 0.0 ft. For readers outside the U.S., the surface is about 310.5 m above sea level.
Check any elevation yourself. Type a level in feet above sea level (a ramp cutoff, a marina mark) to see how far it sits below full pool and in meters.

Where these numbers come from
Every figure on this page is recomputed in code from a public government feed, never typed by hand. The live elevation is a USGS gage reading; feet below full pool, the operating-band gaps, the ~30-day change, and the meter conversion are all derived from that one validated reading and the published reference elevations. The reading is timestamped in the gauge above, and LakeLevelNow pulls the same feed the operator reports to.
