Redwood Creek at seasonal high flows

By mid- to late-summer, Redwood Creek becomes a network of disconnected pools.

Bill Eastwood started monitoring 2017 summer flows throughout Redwood Creek on June 23. Flows have slowly been decreasing since then but are higher througout the watershed compared to last year. In mid-June 2016, the average flow was 583.5 gpm and mid-June 2017, the average flow was 1,137.6 gpm. The flows at our lowest monitoring site within the watershed were over twice the flows compared to last year!

Data is plotted on a logarithmic scale; 0.01 represents "0" or "No flow." Measurements are rounded to the nearest tenths.
