Lake Claiborne Near Aycock reservoir
Lake Claiborne Near Aycock
Lake Claiborne is a reservoir located in the rolling hills of northern Louisiana, near Aycock. The lake was formed in 1970 by the construction of the Claiborne Dam on the Bayou D'Arbonne. It spans 6,400 acres and has a maximum depth of 37 feet. The lake is fed by several surface streams, including Bayou D'Arbonne and Little Corney Bayou, which provide water to several nearby towns and cities. The lake is also fed by snowpack from the surrounding hills, which contributes to its water levels during the winter months. Agriculture and recreation are important uses of the lake, with fishing being a significant draw, as the lake is stocked with several species of fish, including bass, catfish, and crappie. The surrounding area is also home to several parks and camping areas, making it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts.

About Lake Claiborne Near Aycock
Where does the data for Lake Claiborne Near Aycock 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.
