Mud Mountain Lake Near Buckley reservoir
Mud Mountain Lake Near Buckley
Mud Mountain Lake is a reservoir located near Buckley, WA, in Washington. The lake was created in the 1940s by the construction of a dam on the White River. The dam was built to control flooding in the area and to provide hydroelectric power. The lake is fed by snowpack from Mount Rainier and other nearby mountains, as well as by surface flow from the White River. The lake is used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping. It also serves as a water source for irrigation and agriculture in the surrounding area. Mud Mountain Lake is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and offers stunning views of Mount Rainier and the surrounding wilderness.

About Mud Mountain Lake Near Buckley
Where does the data for Mud Mountain Lake Near Buckley 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.
