USGS Surface-Water Daily Data for Minnesota

NOTE: During winter months, stage and discharge may be significantly affected by backwater from ice, resulting in incorrect discharge data. Consequently, discharge data may not be displayed during periods of ice effect. Click here for more information.
! Daily data pages will be decommissioned in early 2026.
Please find the modernized pages in WDFN that suit you best. Learn more about our modernization plans and timeline.
