Is Lake Istokpoga full?

Lake Istokpoga is a natural lake whose outflow is controlled by the S-68 structure. The South Florida Water Management District regulates it with a seasonal schedule (about 39.5 ft in winter, lowered to about 38.25 ft in early summer) rather than a single full level, so this page compares the level with past years instead. It is 0.09 ft higher than a year ago (39.27 ft on Nov 9, 2025).
