About Atwood Lake
Atwood Lake covers about 1,515 acres in Ohio and is classed as a reservoir. The water surface sits about 928 ft above sea level.
Water level on this page comes from USGS gauge 03121000 (Atwood Lake near New Cumberland OH). Wind, gusts and rain come from the National Weather Service forecast grid that covers the water.
Mid-sized lakes like this one tend to have shifty, gusty wind near shore and steadier pressure in the middle, which is why gust spread matters as much as average speed. Reservoir levels move with releases and inflow, so ramps and beaches can change week to week. The water level page tracks that day by day.
The go or no-go calls above are a starting point, not a guarantee. Read how we score conditions, and always check local rules and posted warnings before you launch.
