About this gauge

USGS gauge 03425520 sits on Spring Creek and reads everything draining 50 square miles of the Lower Cumberland-Old Hickory Lake basin. Its datum sits 485 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 2020, 6 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 at Old Hickory Dam (Tw), TN at 11,673 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 0% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Cumberland River at Edenwold, TN.

Normal flows here
