Lake Level Forecast July 2025

Lake Level Forecast

Energy Keepers Incorporated are now forecasting that Flathead Lake will remain within 18 inches below full pool through Labor Day weekend in early September.  According to reporting by KPAX:

A new forecast has been issued about Flathead Lake water levels for the month of August, and it’s a welcoming prediction for those who enjoy recreating on the lake.

Above-average precipitation and cooler-than-normal temperatures since July 1 have drastically changed Flathead Lake’s water level outlook for the month of August. “Two-hundred to 300 percent of normal for rainfall for the month of July at some reporting stations here in the Flathead Basin,” said Energy Keepers Incorporated CEO Brian Lipscomb.

“So that rainfall is really what’s allowed this to happen, where we can hold the lake higher in the top foot through about the middle of August, third week of August and then right now with current forecasts it will be about 18 inches below full pool by Labor Day Weekend.”

Lipscomb said that the forecasted lake level is around normal for Labor Day.
