Keuka Lake Association / November 10, 2026
As we start the month of November, the Keuka Lake Outlet Compact has opened a gate to continue the process of bringing down the lake level for the winter. With a lack of rain in recent weeks, Mother Nature had already begun that on her own. As is done every year, and consistent with guidance from the Keuka Lake Outlet Reservoir Operations Manual, gates are opened to increase the outflow and bring the lake level down for the winter. In the absence of substantial rainfall, lower lake levels can be expected for the next several weeks as the drawdown continues. Lower level objectives remain in place until March of next year.
