Lake Winnebago At Oshkosh reservoir
Lake Winnebago At Oshkosh
Lake Winnebago is the largest freshwater lake in Wisconsin and spans over 137,000 acres. Historically, it was used as a transportation route by Native Americans and later by Europeans for fur trade. The lake is fed by various rivers and tributaries, including the Fox River, which flows into the lake from the north. The lake's hydrology is influenced by the flow from these tributaries and the amount of snowpack in the surrounding area. The lake is an important source of water for agricultural irrigation and is also used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. The lake hosts various fishing tournaments, including the sturgeon spearing season in February. Overall, Lake Winnebago plays a significant role in the economy and culture of Oshkosh and the surrounding areas.

About Lake Winnebago At Oshkosh
Where does the data for Lake Winnebago At Oshkosh 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.
