Irvins Creek, right now
0.56 ft at Irvins Creek at Sam Newell Road, read at 2:45 PM.
Its action stage — the lowest flood threshold — is 7 ft.
Gage height above this gauge's own datum — not the depth of the water, and not comparable with another creek's. Gauge live from NOAA's National Water Prediction Service.
The take
Short enough to be a walk rather than an outing — go if you live nearby or you are already at the park. Its value is the connection it makes, not the distance it covers.
