About Ozarks Water Report
One quick place to check both sides of the five White River system dams. Lakes (bass): levels and bass, crappie and walleye reports for Beaver, Table Rock, Bull Shoals, Norfork and Greers Ferry lakes. Tailwaters (trout): generation schedules, river flow, wading safety and trout reports for the river below each dam: the White River below Beaver, Lake Taneycomo, the White River below Bull Shoals, the Norfork tailwater and the Little Red River.
Where the numbers come from
- USACE (lake levels, dam releases)
- USACE Little Rock District (normal pool levels)
- Southwestern Power Administration (generation plans)
- National Weather Service Springfield
- USGS Water Data (river gauges, water temperature)
- Arkansas Game and Fish Commission
- Missouri Department of Conservation
- Landsat Collection 2 via Microsoft Planetary Computer (satellite estimate)
Every number shows its source and the time it was reported. When a source is down we say so instead of guessing. Figures marked est. or estimate are calculated by us, not measured, and each one explains how.
