Lake Mohave today: level, trend, source and access
Level against full pool
On Nov 5, 2026 the surface sat at 638.7 ft, 8.3 ft below the full-pool mark of 647 ft. It held 1,640,361 acre-feet of its 1,810,000 acre-foot capacity (91% full), so it needs about 170,000 acre-feet more to fill.
Trend
Between Oct 29 and Nov 5 (7 days) the level rose 0.5 ft, about 0.5 ft a week. The high in that window was 638.7 ft on Nov 5 and the low was 638.1 ft on Oct 31. The last 24 hours moved it up 0.09 ft.
Data source
The elevation comes from the Bureau of Reclamation Lower Colorado hourly reservoir report (Lake Mohave), last reported Nov 5, 2026. Percent full is Reclamation storage divided by the reservoir capacity. 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. USBR (Davis Dam) runs the dam on the Colorado River.
Recreation status
Status: near full. At 91% full it is 31.0 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 USBR (Davis Dam).
