Questions and answers

Is Big Creek @ Holly Ridge higher than last year?

No, it is 3.35 ft lower than on the same day last year, when the reading was 5.47 ft.

Is gage height the same as water depth?

No. Gage height is measured from a fixed reference point chosen by the agency, so a reading of 10 ft does not mean the river is 10 ft deep.

On Oct 20, 2026, 09:15 AM CDT, the water level was 2.12 ft. Steady over the last 24 hours.

Is Big Creek @ Holly Ridge rising or falling?

Steady over the last 24 hours. Down 0.15 ft over the last 7 days.

Is the level of Big Creek @ Holly Ridge normal?

The agency publishes no normal range for this gauge yet, so we show the trend only.
