How does Elkhorn Creek at Burdine compare with last year?

It is 0.17 ft higher than on the same day last year, when the reading was 3.31 ft.

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 19, 2026, 05:15 PM EDT, the water level was 3.48 ft. Steady over the last 24 hours.

Is Elkhorn Creek at Burdine rising or falling?

Steady over the last 24 hours. Down 0.17 ft over the last 7 days.

Is the level of Elkhorn Creek at Burdine normal?

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

How we check values

Each reading is stored as published. We hold back values that jump faster than physically plausible and show the measurement time with every value.
