I can't find one, so I thought I would ask the group.  Is there a source to find out the current water elevation of bodies of water.  

I have a toy I have not used and would like to start mapping some of the lakes in Utah (most are not mapped on the fish finders).  If I record it with the water level 20' low, I need to correct with a depth off-set.
I use this one for Central Utah.

Yes, the Central Utah one has the data I am looking for.

Deer Creek 

Wasatch County
(All Data is Provisional)

Reservoir Elevation (ft)

5402.09

I must be missing something on the https://www.usbr.gov/uc/water/basin/site.  I see percent full, but not actual surface elevation.  Can you direct me to that part of the Tea Cup data?

Thanks.
Try the BOR site that I included.  
From the dashboard you can access the information.

Yes, number 1 is excellent for the current surface level elevation.

The others are hit and miss, but there is some data that will work.

Thanks
Your welcome.

Good luck with your project.

Thanks, it will be a long work in progress, but many of our Utah Lakes are not mapped out (topographically speaking).  Navonics and Lake Master maps do a great job back east, or on the West Coast, but outside of Pine View, Strawberry, Powell, and maybe a couple of others, we are fishing pretty much blind.

I wish I had unlimited time and money to do all of them, or even part of most of them, but when I fish I can map out at least the part I fish for future use.
