What this means
High water at Peace River above Pine River: the latest reading is 1.83 m, above normal for mid-October.
The median for mid-October is 1.38 m, based on 15 years of readings, so the water level is 0.44 m above typical. On the same day last year the reading was 1.24 m, a difference of +0.59 m.
It is on the way up, by 0.01 m over the past 24 hours. If the rise continues, low-lying paths and riverside parking can go under water. The 30-day range is 0.51 m – 2.77 m.
That stands out in fall, when many rivers are usually near their lowest.

About the Peace River
The Peace River is a 1,923-kilometre-long (1,195 mi) river in Canada that originates in the Rocky Mountains of northern British Columbia and flows to the northeast through northern Alberta. The Peace River joins the Athabasca River in the Peace-Athabasca Delta to form the Slave River, a tributary of the Mackenzie River. The Finlay River, the main headwater of the Peace River, is regarded as the ultimate source of the Mackenzie River. The combined Finlay–Peace–Slave–Mackenzie river system is the 13th longest river system in the world.
