About Rye Patch Reservoir and its gauge

Rye Patch Reservoir is monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey at RYE PATCH RES NR RYE PATCH, NV in Pershing County, Nevada. The map marks this official monitoring location rather than a lake-center or recreation access point. The reservoir elevation parameter uses the station’s reported reference; a national vertical datum is not supplied for this series and is not inferred.

The displayed series is linked to RYE PATCH RES NR RYE PATCH, NV. Map coordinates identify the approximate monitoring location, not a boat ramp or access point.

How Rye Patch Reservoir levels are measured

The number above is the lake's water surface elevation: the height of the water in feet above a fixed reference point, not the depth of the lake. A rising number means the lake is filling; a falling number means more water is leaving (through releases, evaporation or use) than flowing in.

Readings for Rye Patch Reservoir come from USGS Water Data APIs. The source does not report which vertical datum these elevations use, so compare them only with other readings from the same source. Recent values are usually provisional and can be revised by the agency.

Lake Levels Near Me is scheduled to check for new readings every 3 hours; the source may report less frequently. If a reading is more than 2 days old it is labeled "last reported" instead of current. Measurement methodology and corrections.

Recreation

Boat ramp, marina, camping and fishing status: not verified. Check with the managing agency for current access and advisories.

Readings are informational and may be delayed or revised by the source agency. They do not indicate whether boating, swimming, or other activities are safe. Check official agency notices for closures and warnings.
