Kerr Dam in Polson regulates outflow to maintain Flathead Lake’s level between 2,883 and 2,893 feet above sea level. The lake’s level is brought to 2,890 feet by the end of May and to full pool, 2,893 feet, by June 15. For recreational purposes, lake level is typically kept within 1 foot of full pool though Labor Day.
