Is Lake Kissimmee full?

Lake Kissimmee is a natural lake whose outflow is controlled by the S-65 structure. The South Florida Water Management District and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulate it with a seasonal schedule of zones rather than a single full level, so this page compares the level with past years instead. It is 2.01 ft higher than a year ago (50.78 ft on Nov 8, 2025).
