Compared with a year ago (554.83 ft), the lake is 0.28 ft higher.

Readings are the hourly pool elevation the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers publishes for Fort Gibson Lake near Fort Gibson, OK (SWT); changes compare readings at the same hour.

The Corps' flood-control pool runs from 554.00 ft up to 582.00 ft, so about 4% of that flood space is in use (our calculation from USACE levels).
