Reading these numbers
Readings are elevations in feet above the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD29), the reference most older dam and lake charts use. If you compare with a newer chart in NAVD88, expect a difference of a few feet. Our glossary explains NGVD29 vs NAVD88.
Natural lake levels usually move slowly, following rain, snowmelt and evaporation. A rise after a wet week can flood low docks and beaches, while late-summer lows expose rocks and weed beds near shore.
The gauge is listed by USGS as Lake Kegonsa at Barber Drive near Stoughton, WI. Wind can pile water up at one end of a big lake for a few hours, so short spikes on a windy day are normal.
