  • Stage record during the period the gage was located at Smith Avenue, Oct. 23, 2013 - Jan. 29, 2015, is not directly comparable to current and previous periods of stage record from Robert Street due to changes in the water slope, depending on the streamflow rate. Fall ranges from nominal (+/- 0.1 ft) at lower stages to more than 1.0 ft at higher stages.

This station managed by the Mounds View Field Office.
