Brodhead Creek river
Total streamflow across the Brodhead Creek was last observed at 865 cfs, and is expected to yield approximately 1,716 acre-ft of water today; about 106% of normal. Average streamflow for this time of year is 820 cfs, with recent peaks last observed on 2021-09-02 when daily discharge volume was observed at 20,510 cfs.
Maximum discharge along the river is currently at the Brodhead Creek At Minisink Hills reporting a streamflow rate of 664 cfs. However, the streamgauge with the highest stage along the river is the Brodhead Creek Near Analomink with a gauge stage of 2.53 ft. This river is monitored from 2 different streamgauging stations along the Brodhead Creek, the highest being situated at an altitude of 592 ft, the Brodhead Creek Near Analomink.

Maximum streamflow discharge by year
The single highest aggregate discharge recorded each year. Spotting the multi-year trend reveals droughts vs. wet cycles long before the headline daily flow does.

Streamflow elevation profile
Each bubble is one gauge along the river, plotted by current streamflow (x-axis) vs elevation (y-axis), sized by gauge stage. Reading top-to-bottom traces the river from headwaters down to its mouth -- you can see flow accumulate as elevation drops.

Brodhead Creek
Brodhead Creek is a 22-mile long tributary of the Delaware River in northeastern Pennsylvania. It was named after Daniel Brodhead, a colonial-era officer and surveyor. The creek originates in Monroe County and flows southeast through the Pocono Mountains. It is a cold-water fishery, and supports a diverse population of fish species including trout, bass, and panfish. There are several reservoirs and dams along the creek, including the Brodhead Creek Dam, which was constructed in the 1920s to provide water to the town of Stroudsburg. Today, the creek and its surrounding areas are popular for recreational activities such as fishing, hiking, and kayaking. The creek also serves as a source of irrigation for local agricultural communities.

About the Brodhead Creek
Where does the data for the Brodhead Creek come from?
Streamflow and gauge stage data are sourced from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Information System. The aggregate flow shown at the top of the page is computed by Snoflo as the sum of all monitored gauges along the river.
How is "percent of normal" calculated?
Today's aggregate streamflow is compared to the historical average aggregate streamflow on this calendar day across the river's full record. 100% means right on average; values above 100% indicate above-normal flow (wet year); values below indicate below-normal (dry year or drought).
Why are some gauges showing very different flows?
Gauges along a river measure flow at different points: headwater gauges read what's coming off the snowpack or mountain runoff; downstream gauges integrate everything upstream, including tributary inputs. Wide spreads usually mean a tributary is contributing significantly between gauges.
What's the elevation profile chart showing?
Each bubble is one gauge along the river, plotted by streamflow (x-axis) and elevation (y-axis), sized by gauge stage. Reading top-down traces the river from headwaters to mouth -- you can see flow build as elevation drops.
Can I get alerts when a specific gauge crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app on a per-gauge basis. Open any individual streamgauge from the table above and favorite it to set a discharge threshold.
