Raft River river
Maximum discharge along the river is currently at the Raft River Ab Onemile Creek Nr Malta Id reporting a streamflow rate of 1.99 cfs. This is also the highest stage along the Raft River, with a gauge stage of 3.67 ft at this location. This river is monitored from 2 different streamgauging stations along the Raft River, the highest being situated at an altitude of 4,958 ft, the Raft River Ab Onemile Creek Nr Malta Id.

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.

Raft River
The Raft River is a 60-mile-long tributary of the Snake River that flows through Idaho and Utah. It has a rich history, having been used by Native American tribes for fishing and hunting, as well as by settlers for agriculture and transportation. The river's hydrology is heavily influenced by the surrounding mountains and canyons, with its flow fluctuating throughout the year. There are several dams and reservoirs on the Raft River, including the 39-mile-long Raft River Reservoir which provides irrigation water for agriculture. Recreational activities on the river include fishing, boating, and camping. The Raft River is an important source of water for agricultural use in the region, particularly for the production of alfalfa and potatoes.
Track the Raft River in the Snoflo app
Set per-gauge push alerts (e.g. "alert me when flow at the Russian R Nr Healdsburg crosses 5,000 cfs"), and Snoflo's iOS app pushes the moment USGS reports the crossing.
About the Raft River
Where does the data for the Raft 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.
