000.00ft above sea level
Measured from orbit by NASA's SWOT satellite each time it passes over the lake, usually every 10 to 21 days, to within about half a foot. Elevation is above sea level (EGM2008), not a gauge reading at a dock.
Background reading: Manistee Lake on Wikipedia
Manistee Lake is a 1,044-acre natural lake in Manistee County, Michigan.
We have not matched Manistee Lake 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.
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.
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.
The National Weather Service forecast for the lake from October 26: Monday: NNE wind 5 to 9 kt, gusts to 16 kt, high near 55°F. The panel at the top of this page refreshes the current wind, gusts and direction when you open it and turns them into a call for sailing, paddling, power boating and fishing.
We have not matched Manistee Lake to a public level gauge, so the water level card on this page uses NASA's SWOT satellite, which measures the lake surface every time it passes overhead, usually every 10 to 21 days. The card shows the latest pass, its date and the change since the pass before.
Manistee Lake covers about 1,044 acres (1.6 square miles) of surface water.
