Reading from Oct 26, 2026. Shaded band: range of October averages on record; dashed line is the typical level.
Lake Mexia was at 446.21 ft on October 26, holding steady over the past week (-0.08 ft). That is below normal for October: the typical October level is 447.27 ft, so the lake is 1.06 ft below its usual mark.
Lake Mexia covers about 972 acres in Limestone County, Texas and is classed as a reservoir.
Water level on this page comes from USGS gauge 08110300 (Lk Mexia nr Mexia, TX), about 2 mi from the middle of the lake. 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. 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.
