On Nov 5, 2026 the surface sat at 167.8 ft, 4.2 ft below the full-pool mark of 172 ft. The Texas Water Development Board rates its conservation storage at 84.4% full. Of the 15 Texas lakes on this site with a live percent-full reading, it ranks 9 of 15.

Data source

The elevation comes from the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) daily reservoir record for Toledo Bend Reservoir (Water Data for Texas, reservoir "toledo-bend"), 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. Sabine River Authority (Toledo Bend Dam) runs the dam on the Sabine River.

Recreation status

Status: healthy. At 84.4% full it is 24.4 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 Sabine River Authority (Toledo Bend Dam).

Check an elevation against full pool

For readers outside the U.S., the surface of Toledo Bend Reservoir is about 51.1 m above sea level, and full pool is about 52.4 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.
