About Ice House Reservoir

Ice House Reservoir is a 648-acre reservoir in El Dorado County, California.

We have not matched Ice House Reservoir to a public level gauge, so the water level on this page comes from NASA's SWOT satellite, which measures the lake surface from orbit on each pass. Wind, gusts and rain come from the National Weather Service forecast grid that covers the water.

On water this size, waves stay small even on windy days. The catch is gusts: shoreline terrain funnels the wind into sharp puffs that catch out small boats and paddlers.

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.
