Lake Texoma today: level, trend, source and access
Level against full pool
On Nov 5, 2026 the surface sat at 617.2 ft, 0.2 ft above the full-pool mark of 617 ft, so part of the flood-control pool is in use.
Level against the seasonal target
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District runs Lake Texoma on a seasonal top of conservation pool, so the level it aims for changes through the year. For Nov 5, 2026 the seasonal top of conservation pool is 618.5 ft, 0.5 ft under the 619 ft summer level, and the target is holding at an in-between seasonal level. The surface, at 617.2 ft, is 1.3 ft below that target and 0.2 ft above the full-pool mark of 617 ft. So the lake sits lower than its seasonal curve for this date.
Texoma's 617 ft full pool is the fixed reference, but the Tulsa District moves the top of the conservation pool through the year: down to 615 ft from mid-February to May, up to 619 ft from June to mid-July, 616.5 ft in September, and 618.5 ft in November.
Between two dates the target moves in a straight line, as the published curve does. Source: USACE CWMS Data API, office SWT, location level "DENI.Elev.Inst.0.Top of Conservation" (2026 breakpoints; the fixed reference "Top of Constant Conservation" is 617 ft), read on Oct 26, 2026. The operator can deviate from its curve for floods, droughts or dam work.
Trend
Between Oct 7 and Nov 5 (29 days) the level rose 2.1 ft, about 0.5 ft a week. The high in that window was 617.3 ft on Nov 3 and the low was 615.0 ft on Oct 15. In the last 7 days it rose 0.2 ft. The last 24 hours changed it by less than 0.1 ft.
Data source
The elevation comes from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers CWMS Data API, Denison Dam pool, USACE Tulsa District, office SWT, time series DENI.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 (Denison Dam) runs the dam on the Red River.
Recreation status
Status: below seasonal target. Within 0.0 ft of full pool, ramps built for normal pool should reach the water. Check your ramp with USACE Tulsa (Denison Dam) all the same. Against the seasonal target the lake is 1.3 ft below the level USACE Tulsa District plans for this date. If the 30-day pace of 0.5 ft a week up held, the surface would be near 619.2 ft in four weeks. Releases and rain change that quickly.
Check an elevation against full pool
For readers outside the U.S., the surface of Lake Texoma is about 188.1 m above sea level, and full pool is about 188.1 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.
