These are the few pictures I took as the river neared its peak flow for the spring. In the past 10 days the water level over the falls has increased from about 6" to near 4'. Unfortunately this has resulted in a lot of debris in the river, especially green plastic soda bottles (thank you Sprite, 7-Up, & Mt. Dew!).
The original images are quite large (greater than 1MB) so I have reduced them to be more manageable for the web. Please let me know if you would like copies of the original files. The movie is a very short clip (but large ~16 MB file) of the river. It has both audio and video and is most easily viewed with QuickTime v.4 or later.
The USGS publishes real-time data from the gaging station at Welch, MN.
