Sugar Creek Water Level

The USGS gauge which was previously used to monitor creek water levels is no longer functional since it was located in the "pool" above the low-head dam which has now been removed. USGS is in the process of installing a new gage near the Lafayette Avenue bridge. In the meantime canoeist and kayakers must rely on good judgement to determine if the water level appears higher than normal.
