Mallard Creek, right now
2.55 ft at Mallard Creek below Stony Creek, read at 2:15 PM.
Its action stage — the lowest flood threshold — is 11 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
Ride it together with the campus path next door and you have a genuine morning rather than a loop around a subdivision. The county counts three creeks in one figure here, so the map is more braided than the name suggests.
