Carlyle Lake · IL
Status
Open/closed status published by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This is their decision to open or close the ramp (e.g. construction, low water) — not a measure of how deep the water is. "Updated" is the Corps' own last-update time; if it's old, confirm before you go.

Pool level
The "normal" band is this lake's operating pool. Summer full 445′ and winter full 443′ are the operator's (USACE) published values. The low mark (443′) is a LakeStatus estimate of a typical operating low, not a surveyed or official limit. Current level is live from the operator. Context only — confirm before you launch.
Lake is 0.6 ft below full pool, within the normal operating band.

Facility & location data from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Pin marks the site entrance, not necessarily the ramp at the water. Treat it as "where to turn in," not the exact launch point.
