About this reservoir

Cedar Lake (Masonry Pool) Near Cedar Falls

Cedar Lake is a masonry pool located near Cedar Falls, WA in Washington. The lake was created in the early 1900s for hydroelectric power, and it is now used for recreation and water supply. The hydrology of the lake is fed by surface flow and snowpack, primarily from the nearby Snoqualmie Pass. Agricultural and recreational uses of the lake include fishing, swimming, and boating. The lake is also used as a source of drinking water for nearby cities and towns. The area around Cedar Lake is heavily forested, and the lake itself is surrounded by scenic mountains and hills. Overall, Cedar Lake has a rich history and serves an important role in the community as both a water source and recreational destination.

How this is built. The shoreline is the National Hydrography Dataset polygon for this water body, matched to the dam by proximity and confirmed by comparing its area with the National Inventory of Dams surface area. Depth is modelled, not surveyed: the basin is shaped by distance from shore — deep in open water, shallow in the bays — and scaled so its volume equals the recorded storage. No national bathymetric survey exists for US reservoirs. Treat the shoreline, area and volume as measured, and the depth distribution as an informed approximation.

Above normal pool, water is shown rising within the normal-pool shoreline. Where it would actually spread depends on the surrounding terrain, which is not modelled here — a reservoir in a steep canyon barely widens, one on flat ground can spread a long way. This is a depth and volume figure, not an inundation map. Official inundation mapping for a dam comes from its Emergency Action Plan.

FAQ

About Cedar Lake (Masonry Pool) Near Cedar Falls

What is the water level at Cedar Lake (masonry Pool) Near Cedar Falls Reservoir right now?

As of September 6, 2026, Cedar Lake (masonry Pool) Near Cedar Falls Reservoir is holding 1,522 ft, about 98% of normal for this date. Pool elevation and the year-over-year trend are shown above.

Is Cedar Lake (masonry Pool) Near Cedar Falls Reservoir high or low right now?

Compare the percent-of-normal figure on this page: above 100% means storage is higher than the historical average for the date (a wet year), below 100% means lower (a dry year or drought). The daily-levels chart shows the current trend.

Where does the data for Cedar Lake (masonry Pool) Near Cedar Falls 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.
