Reading these numbers
Readings are reservoir surface elevations in feet, as published by the U.S. Geological Survey. Compare them with ramp and dock elevations from the lake operator to judge whether a launch is usable.
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 Little Washoe Lake near Steamboat, NV. 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.
