Applegate Lake Near Copper reservoir
Applegate Lake Near Copper
Applegate Lake is a reservoir located near Copper, OR in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. The lake was created in 1980 when the Army Corps of Engineers dammed the Applegate River. The lake provides water for irrigation and recreation, and is home to a variety of fish species including rainbow trout, largemouth bass, and crappie. The hydrology of the lake is influenced by both surface flow and snowpack from the surrounding mountains. Farmers in the area rely on the lake for irrigation, while recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping draw tourists to the area. The lake is also a popular spot for hiking and birdwatching.

About Applegate Lake Near Copper
Where does the data for Applegate Lake Near Copper 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.
