Reservoir Levels • Weather • Hydrology
Meeks Cabin Reservoir is located in the mountains of Wyoming and was built in the late 1920s. It is a man-made reservoir that was created to store water for irrigation and hydroelectric power. The reservoir is fed by two main surface flow providers, Gooseberry Creek and Meeks Creek, and its water source for snowpack is the Wind River Range. The reservoir also provides water for agricultural uses and recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping. Meeks Cabin Reservoir has a storage capacity of approximately 20,000 acre-feet and is an important source of water for the surrounding communities. The hydrology of the reservoir is managed by the Bureau of Reclamation, which monitors water levels and releases to ensure adequate supply for all users.
