Eagle Creek Reservoir Near Indianapolis
Eagle Creek Reservoir is a man-made lake located in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was constructed in 1968 for the purpose of flood control, recreational use, and as a source of drinking water. The reservoir is fed by several creeks and streams, including Eagle Creek, and is also supplied by snowmelt from the surrounding areas. The reservoir is managed by the Indianapolis Department of Waterworks and covers over 1,400 acres. Agricultural activities in the area are limited due to the reservoir’s location within a metropolitan area. Recreational activities at the reservoir include fishing, boating, hiking, and picnicking. The reservoir is also home to several species of fish, including bass, catfish, and crappie. Additionally, the reservoir serves as an important habitat for migratory birds.

About Eagle Creek Reservoir Near Indianapolis
Where does the data for Eagle Creek Reservoir Near Indianapolis 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 above 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.
