About Townshend Lake

Townshend Lake covers a stretch of water in Windham County, Vermont and is classed as a reservoir.

Water level on this page comes from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reading at Townshend Dam, published through the Corps' CWMS data service. Wind, gusts and rain come from the National Weather Service forecast grid that covers the water.

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.
