Lamoille River river
Total streamflow across the Lamoille River was last observed at 1,361 cfs, and is expected to yield approximately 2,700 acre-ft of water today; about 79% of normal. Average streamflow for this time of year is 1,726 cfs, with recent peaks last observed on 2023-12-19 when daily discharge volume was observed at 38,300 cfs.
Maximum discharge along the river is currently at the Lamoille River At East Georgia reporting a streamflow rate of 3,460 cfs. This is also the highest stage along the Lamoille River, with a gauge stage of 6.08 ft at this location. This river is monitored from 2 different streamgauging stations along the Lamoille River, the highest being situated at an altitude of 511 ft, the Lamoille River At Johnson.

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.

Lamoille River
The Lamoille River is a 85-mile-long tributary of Lake Champlain in Vermont, USA. The river has a rich history that includes being a crucial transportation route for early settlers and playing a significant role in the region's logging industry. Today, the river is used for recreational activities such as fishing, kayaking, and swimming. Additionally, the river is used for farming, including the production of hay, corn, and soybeans. The hydrology of the river is influenced by several dams and reservoirs, including the Green River Reservoir and the Morrisville Dam. These structures provide hydroelectric power, regulate water flows, and support the region's agricultural economy. Overall, the Lamoille River remains an important natural resource for the state of Vermont.

About the Lamoille River
Where does the data for the Lamoille River 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.
