Its action stage — the lowest flood threshold — is 9 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
Nobody rides the whole thing in a day and nobody needs to — pick a segment by what sits at each end and treat it as transport between neighborhoods rather than a destination. The urban stretch with the sculptures is the one to walk if you only do one.
