Streamflow Conditions in the Finger Lakes

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) maintains the National Water Information System, which provides a variety of information on rivers, streams, and creeks in the Finger Lakes region. Although this information is considered to be "real-time," it can change suddenly depending on a variety of factors, such as weather; sediment, ice, or debris movement; or the malfuntioning of monitoring equipment. It should be considered a guide only.

Below is a list of rivers, steams, and creeks in the Finger Lakes that are monitored by the USGS. Click on the body of water for information about streamflow.
