About Lake Macbride
Lake Macbride is a 866-acre reservoir in Iowa.
We have not matched Lake Macbride to a public USGS level gauge, so this page leans on wind and weather from the National Weather Service forecast grid over the lake. If you know of a gauge or a dam operator that publishes levels, tell us and we will add it.
Small lakes rarely build big waves, but trees and hills around the shore make the wind patchy. Expect sudden puffs and lulls rather than a steady breeze.
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.
