Mississippi Lake Levels Today

6 lakes and reservoirs · updated Sep 21, 2026

Lake Levels Today tracks 6 lakes and reservoirs in Mississippi. Of the 6 with a published full pool, 5 are at or above it and 0 are well below it. The highest relative to full pool is Sardis Lake (+16.97 ft) and the lowest is Okatibbee Lake (−2.21 ft). Over the last 24 hours 1 rose and 3 fell by more than a twentieth of a foot; the rest held steady.

Every figure is the operating agency's own gauge reading, republished once a day. Open a lake for its staff gauge, a one-year chart, pool elevations and the source link. Elevations are in feet above the agency's vertical datum, so compare lakes by their distance from full pool, not by raw elevation.
