Don’t you mean Walker Lake? As of May 12, Pyramid Lake is only 2.87 feet below full pool.

No, Pyramid Lake. When they dug the canals beginning in 1905 and diverted the water to Fallon, the lake fell. As of the 1970s, it had dropped over 80 feet. Very little data on where it is as now, though you can see the water marks when you visit. It has not been restored, may still be drying up.

Okay, Pyramid Lake is around 3,805 today, about same as it has been in recent years. Nearby Winnemucca Lake completely dried out because of the diverted water. Both had area larger than Lake Tahoe before the water was diverted.
