DRAINAGE AREA - 238 mi².
REVISIONS HISTORY - WDR-MN-80-2: 1974-75, 1977-79, WRD MN-98: 1993.
SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - May 1970 to September 1973, operated as a low-flow station only. October 1973 to September 2012, continuous record, October 2012 to current year, no winter record.
GAGE - Water-stage recorder. Datum of gage is 728.56 ft above sea level (NGVD of 1929).
REMARKS - Seasonal gage.
Records good except those for estimated daily-mean discharges, which are poor.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum discharge, 3,710 ft³/s, June 19, 2014, estimated daily-mean; maximum gage height, 11.03 ft, June 19, 2014; minimum discharge, 0.20 ft³/s (result of freeze-up), Jan. 4, 1981. It's likely that the peak discharge of record was associated with the peak stage of record that occurred on June 19, 2014. But the maximum peak listed is an estimated daily-mean due to variable backwater conditions.
