The elevation comes from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers CWMS Data API, Oologah Dam pool, USACE Tulsa District, office SWT, time series OOLO.Elev.Inst.1Hour.0.Ccp-Rev, last reported Nov 5, 2026. 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 Tulsa (Oologah Dam) runs the dam on the Verdigris River.

Recreation status

Status: near full. Within 0.0 ft of full pool, ramps built for normal pool should reach the water. Check your ramp with USACE Tulsa (Oologah Dam) all the same.

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.
