About this gauge

USGS gauge 02336313 sits on Woodall Creek and reads everything draining 2.7 square miles of the Upper Chattahoochee basin. Its datum sits 756 feet above sea level NAVD88. Daily flow has been on record here since 2006, 20 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 Chattahoochee River at GA 280, near Atlanta, GA at 1,590 square miles, so what passes this gauge is about 0% of the water measured there. Water passing here goes on to Chattahoochee River near Fairburn, GA, Chattahoochee River above Bear Creek, near Rico, GA and Chattahoochee River near Whitesburg, GA.

Normal flows here

Woodall Creek runs a median of 1.2 cfs at this gauge across 20 years of record. February is the fullest month at a median 1.9 cfs, and September the leanest at 0.7 cfs. The highest daily mean on record is 355 cfs in 2021, and the lowest is 0.0 cfs in 2019.

Medians from the USGS daily-statistics record, 2006 to 2026. A month at 100% is running at its own long-term median.
