About Trinity Lake and its gauge

Trinity Dam is on the Trinity River northeast of Weaverville. Reclamation describes it as part of the Central Valley Project, built to provide irrigation water to the San Joaquin Valley.

The displayed series is linked to Trinity Lake Dam and Powerplant. Map coordinates identify the approximate monitoring location, not a boat ramp or access point.

How Trinity Lake 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 Trinity Lake come from Reclamation RISE. 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.
