About this gauge

USGS gauge 03418224 sits on Jennings Creek and reads everything draining 67 square miles of the Upper Cumberland-Cordell Hull Reservoir basin. Its datum sits 500 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 2019, 8 years of it.

Where this gauge sits in the drainage

No gauged site sits above this one on the mainstem, so this is the first published reading on the river. Downstream the next reading comes from Cumberland River below Cordell Hull Dam, TN at 8,095 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 1% of the water measured there.

Normal flows here

Jennings Creek runs a median of 48 cfs at this gauge across 8 years of record. February is the fullest month at a median 197 cfs, and September the leanest at 12 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 3,690 cfs in 2024, and the lowest is 4.6 cfs in 2023.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 2019 to 2026. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median.
