Devils Lake Near Baraboo reservoir
Devils Lake Near Baraboo
Devil's Lake is a popular tourist destination located near Baraboo, Wisconsin. The lake is situated in a natural basin formed by the Wisconsin Glacier and is surrounded by high bluffs. Historically, the lake has been used for recreational purposes, including swimming, fishing, and boating. Hydrologically, the lake is fed by surface flow and snowpack from the surrounding hills. The lake's water level fluctuates significantly due to changes in precipitation and weather patterns. The lake and surrounding area have also been used for agricultural purposes, primarily for dairy farming, but recent years have seen a shift towards more sustainable agricultural practices. The lake is now protected as a state park and is an important habitat for a variety of plant and animal species.

About Devils Lake Near Baraboo
Where does the data for Devils Lake Near Baraboo 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.
