More Interesting Info On Stockton

[Lifes2Short]

I had sent a note to the folks up at Stockton wanting some information and this is what they sent me. What a crazy spring it is this year when the lake is up 10 degrees over this time last year!

Good Morning

Thanks for your interest in Stockton Lake.

I think one of the best sources for lake level information is at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/mo/nwis/current/?type=lake&group_key=NONE

You can click on Stockton Lake and get current level and also some historical data is available through this website.

As far as Lake temps - we keep track of it here at the office and keep records - but it is not generally posted to a website. 3/23/11 the Lake temp was 43 degrees. Today 3/23/12 the Lake temp is 53. These readings are taken at the surface near the face of the dam. The lake temp varies quite a lot across the lake - shallower water, darker bottoms, along rock outcroppings, etc.

Another good source for lake levels, scheduled releases, etc. is at http://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/WaterManagement/index.cfm

Thanks again for your interest in Stockton Lake. I hope you have many SAFE and enjoyable visits.

Feel free to contact us - if you have more questions.
