Casitas Reservoir today: level, trend, source and access
Level against full pool
On Nov 4, 2026 the surface sat at 562.1 ft, 5.4 ft below the full-pool mark of 568 ft. It held 224,904 acre-feet of its 254,000 acre-foot capacity (89% full), so it needs about 29,000 acre-feet more to fill. Of the 12 California lakes on this site with a live percent-full reading, it ranks 1 of 12, the fullest.
Trend
Between Oct 5 and Nov 4 (30 days) the level fell 0.4 ft, about 0.1 ft a week. The high in that window was 562.5 ft on Oct 5 and the low was 562.1 ft on Oct 20. In the last 7 days it held level. The last 24 hours changed it by less than 0.1 ft.
Data source
The elevation comes from California Data Exchange Center (CDEC) station CSI (California Department of Water Resources), last reported Nov 4, 2026. Percent full is CDEC storage divided by the capacity CDEC lists for the dam. Feet from full pool, the trend and the figures above are computed from that reading and the published full-pool elevation; none is typed by hand. Casitas Municipal Water District runs the dam on the Coyote Creek (offstream).
Recreation status
Status: healthy. At 89% full it is 29.0 points above 60%, the line above which most ramps stay in the water, so a normal ramp day is likely. Ramps still close on their own schedules, so check yours with Casitas Municipal Water District.
To see where today sits against every monthly reading since 1961, the Casitas Reservoir water level chart plots the whole CDEC storage record and ranks the latest month against the same month in every year.
Check an elevation against full pool
For readers outside the U.S., the surface of Casitas Reservoir is about 171.3 m above sea level, and full pool is about 173.0 m.
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.
