Lake Georgetown today: level, trend, source and access

Level against full pool

On Nov 5, 2026 the surface sat at 784.4 ft, 6.6 ft below the full-pool mark of 791 ft. The Texas Water Development Board rates its conservation storage at 78.7% full. Of the 15 Texas lakes on this site with a live percent-full reading, it ranks 11 of 15.

Trend

Between Oct 7 and Nov 5 (29 days) the level fell 0.3 ft, about 0.1 ft a week. The high in that window was 784.7 ft on Oct 7 and the low was 784.2 ft on Oct 29. In the last 7 days it rose 0.2 ft. That reverses the earlier decline. The last 24 hours changed it by less than 0.1 ft.

Data source

The elevation comes from the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) daily reservoir record for Lake Georgetown (Water Data for Texas, reservoir "georgetown"), last reported Nov 5, 2026. Percent full is TWDB conservation storage divided by conservation capacity, from the same daily record. 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. USACE (Georgetown Dam) runs the dam on the North Fork San Gabriel River.

Recreation status

Status: healthy. At 78.7% full it is 18.7 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 USACE (Georgetown Dam).

Check an elevation against full pool

For readers outside the U.S., the surface of Lake Georgetown is about 239.1 m above sea level, and full pool is about 241.1 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.
