Field notes
Grenada Lake's latest daily level (Oct 25, 2026) is 203.54 (NGVD29) ft.
The lake is 10.54 ft above its conservation pool elevation of 193.00 ft, meaning water is being held in flood storage.
Over the past 7 days the lake has been falling (−1.37 ft), and it is −5.01 ft over 30 days.
Compared with a year ago (206.02 ft), the lake is 2.48 ft lower.
Readings are the hourly pool elevation the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers publishes for Grenada Lake and Dam, MS (MVK); changes compare readings at the same hour.
The Corps' flood-control pool runs from 193.00 ft up to 231.00 ft, so about 28% of that flood space is in use (our calculation from USACE levels).
