Common questions about Demopolis Lake’s water level

  • Lake Insights does not currently have a live gauge elevation for Demopolis Lake. No public USGS or U.S. Army Corps of Engineers pool gage is published for this lake, so a current Demopolis Lake lake level is not shown.

  • Demopolis Lake does not have a public live pool-elevation feed. Lake Insights only plots a current elevation when an official agency gage (USGS, Corps, NOAA, or a verified operator feed) is available.

  • Full pool for Demopolis Lake is 73 ft — the normal conservation target elevation when the reservoir is at its designed summer or operating pool.
