Lookout Point Lake Near Lowell reservoir
Lookout Point Lake Near Lowell
Lookout Point Lake, located near Lowell, Oregon, was created in 1954 when the US Army Corps of Engineers built a dam on the Middle Fork of the Willamette River. The lake has a capacity of 154,400 acre-feet and provides water for irrigation, municipal, and industrial uses. The hydrology of the lake is influenced by two main sources: surface flow from the Willamette River and snowpack from the surrounding mountains. The lake serves as a water source for agricultural production in the area, including crops such as grass seed, hazelnuts, and Christmas trees. The lake also provides recreational opportunities such as fishing, boating, and camping. The area around the lake is managed by the US Forest Service and includes hiking trails, picnic areas, and wildlife viewing.

About Lookout Point Lake Near Lowell
Where does the data for Lookout Point Lake Near Lowell 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.
