Huntington Lake (Usbr)
Huntington Lake is a reservoir in California that was created in 1912 by the construction of the dam by the US Bureau of Reclamation. The lake provides hydroelectric power and irrigation water for agricultural use in the San Joaquin Valley. Its hydrology is affected by specific surface flow and snowpack providers, including several tributaries and the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Huntington Lake has become a popular recreational destination for activities such as fishing, boating, and hiking. It is also home to several camps and resorts, making it a popular location for vacationers. The lake is located at an altitude of 7,000 feet above sea level and has a surface area of 1,435 acres.

About Huntington Lake (Usbr)
What is the water level at Huntington Lake (usbr) Reservoir right now?
As of August 10, 2026, Huntington Lake (usbr) Reservoir is holding 2 acre-ft, about 12% of normal for this date. Pool elevation and the year-over-year trend are shown above.
Is Huntington Lake (usbr) Reservoir high or low right now?
Compare the percent-of-normal figure on this page: above 100% means storage is higher than the historical average for the date (a wet year), below 100% means lower (a dry year or drought). The daily-levels chart shows the current trend.
Where does the data for Huntington Lake (usbr) come from?
Daily storage, pool elevation, and release rates are sourced from USGS, USBR, and USACE monitoring stations. Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
Storage observations are updated daily by the operating agency. The 15-day weather forecast refreshes throughout the day. Snoflo caches and renders the most recent observation -- check the "as of" timestamp on the storage card.
What does the Hazard hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card below for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this reservoir, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
