River Levels

The Northwest River Forecast Center is a really great resource. The
link will take you to a page that gives an overview of hydrologic
conditions for the entire area in one glance. Click on any station
for more details. The station PHI03 (the next link on this page) is
the Marys River at Belfountain Road, and the station COR03 is the
Willamette River at Corvallis.

Marys River Current AND PREDICTED Flows from the NWRFC. The hydrograph
you will see shows stage (how high the water is) and discharge (how
much water is flowing) for the past ten days, a forecast for the next
few days, an idea of what the trend should be beyond that, as well
as maximum and minimum flows for that date. A local weather
forecast is also included as well as links to other information about
the gauge and historic flood events. This is perhaps the single
best link for monitoring Marys River water levels. Good stuff!

USGS Flow for Marys River at Bellfountain Road Gauging Station
This site has 6-day graphs of discharge and stage updated every hour
in the winter, but as infrequently as every four hours during the
summer. Expect a one hour lag time from the time the gauge was read
to when the data are posted on the site. Based on 45 years of
flow data, this chart also shows max, min, 20%, 50%, and 80% exceedence
for the day. There is also a link to a whole list of other links to
USGS gauges in Oregon.
- Advanced
Hydrologic Prediction Service, a project of the National Weather
Service; link to Portland regional coverage. This site shows a number
of river gauging stations in western Oregon and southwest Washington.
Click on the link that says Philomath
to access the Marys River gauge, and the page will generate a graph
of river stage for the past two days plus a prediction for river stage
for the next two days. Bank-full (16 feet) and flood stage (20
feet) are also shown when levels are near that stage.
- Pat
Welch's Page of Oregon River Levels Pat
is a kayaker, so this page is focused on information most
useful to boaters. Included are stage and discharge of
most streams in Oregon as well as temperature for many
others. Clicking on any hyperlinked data will
generate a graph of stage or discharge. You can also
access the database directly. Other information shows
if the river is too low, okay, or too high to boat safely,
but I
have boated beyond these ranges. Pat also maintains
similar data for all the other western states, and a link on
the top of this page will take you there.
