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.

About Duck Lake

Duck Lake covers about 1,449 acres in Glacier County, Montana and is classed as a natural lake.

We have not matched Duck 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.

It is big enough for a proper sail but small enough that waves rarely get serious. Gusts off the shoreline are usually the bigger story than wave height.

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.
