About Lake Ellsworth
Lake Ellsworth is a 5,114-acre natural lake in Oklahoma. The water surface sits about 1,224 ft above sea level.
Water level on this page comes from USGS gauge 07308990 (Lake Ellsworth near Elgin, OK), about 2 mi from the middle of the lake. 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.
