About this gauge
Readings come from USGS monitoring location 01323500, GREAT SACANDAGA LAKE AT CONKLINGVILLE NY, 17.4 miles from the centre of Great Sacandaga Lake. It reports reservoir elevation. Values refresh every 30 minutes and are provisional until the agency reviews them. Readings describe the reservoir at the gauge; a shallow arm miles upstream will not match them.
Fish Club protects exact catch locations by default. Records show the waterbody — never an angler's GPS pin.
