About this gauge

USGS gauge 02263800 sits on Shingle Creek and reads everything draining 89 square miles of the Kissimmee basin. Its datum sits 61 feet above sea level NGVD29. Daily flow has been on record here since 1959, 68 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 Shingle Creek at Campbell, FL at 180 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 50% of the water measured there. It then enters Lake Hatchineha near Lake Wales, Fla, below which releases set the flow.

Normal flows here

Shingle Creek runs a median of 39 cfs at this gauge across 68 years of record. August is the fullest month at a median 133 cfs, and May the leanest at 17 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 3,500 cfs in 2022, and the lowest is 0.0 cfs in 1989.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 1959 to 2026. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median.
