Background reading: East Lake Tohopekaliga on Wikipedia

Water level on this page comes from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reading at East Lake Tohopekaliga, published through the Corps' CWMS data service. Wind, gusts and rain come from the National Weather Service forecast grid that covers the water.
With this much open water, waves build quickly when the wind lines up with the long axis of the lake. Pick a launch on the upwind shore on breezy days and the ride home is easier.
