History
What this means
Low water at South Fork Spring River at Saddle: the gauge reads 2.10 ft, far below normal for mid-October.
It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. Without real rain upstream, that is unlikely to change quickly. The 30-day range is 2.10 ft – 2.13 ft.
Fall is often low-water season on rivers, and it usually takes a few days of steady rain to change that.
Compared with 5 years of daily readings for this time of year. How to read levels
Paddling and fishing conditions
