About Fremont River near Bicknell
Fremont River in the Fremont watershed, Utah.
The watershed
This station measures the Fremont River near Bicknell in Utah, with 751 sq mi (1945 km2) upstream of the gauge.
For people who watch this river for stock water, irrigation, or fishing, that upstream area matters because it is the part of the basin feeding this point on the river. The seasonal pattern is modest on paper but useful in practice: the typical high month is November at 4.28 ft (1.3 m), and the typical low month is June at 3.94 ft (1.2 m).
The record range shows how far the river can move beyond that usual pattern. The highest level on record is 5.76 ft (1.76 m) in April 2011. The lowest level on record is 3.73 ft (1.14 m) in June 2021. The typical annual swing is 4.1 in (10.4 cm), which is the kind of change that can matter for a shallow intake, a pump set close to the bank, or a dock that sits low in the water.
What the numbers say
The station’s long record gives a clear baseline for the Fremont. Over 50 years on record, the water has stayed within a fairly narrow usual band, but the extremes show that the river can move outside that band in both directions.
For someone living or fishing on this water, the practical takeaway is simple: the river’s usual seasonality is small, but it is not fixed. The difference between the typical high month and typical low month is only 4.1 in (10.4 cm), yet the record high in April 2011 and record low in June 2021 show that drought years and wet years can still matter.
No fastest 24-hour rise is listed in the facts here, so there is no station-specific warning-time number to quote.
Reading the hero number
This page’s hero reading is most useful when it is compared with the median for the same calendar day, not just read as a raw height. A river stage can look ordinary on its own and still be high for that date, or look high and still be near normal for the season.
That calendar-day comparison is especially useful at a USGS station like this one because it shows where today sits against the station’s own history. With more than 50 years on record, the Fremont has enough history to make that comparison meaningful for day-to-day decisions.
How this page is built
Readings come from official government gauges and are rolled into daily records: the daily mean, high and low for every day on record. Each calendar day gets its own baseline from the full history, so the level you see is compared against what this specific date usually looks like rather than an annual average.
How Nibi Metrics works · Water stories
Nibi Metrics - live water levels, flow, and forecasts for lakes and rivers across Canada, the US and the UK
Real-time water levels, forecasts, and alerts for lakes and rivers across Canada, the US and the UK. Built on official government data.
Nibi Metrics tracks more than 13,000 gauged lakes and rivers across Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, reading directly from official federal monitoring networks: the Water Survey of Canada, the United States Geological Survey, Quebec's provincial hydrometric network, and the Environment Agency for England. Every number on the platform is measured, not modelled - taken from a government gauge on the water itself and compared against that location's own historical record for this exact date.
What you can see for any monitored lake or river
The level right now, in feet or metres, updated as the source agency publishes new readings - for many stations that is every five to fifteen minutes. How today compares to typical: every location carries its own typical-for-this-date band built from its historical record, so a reading is never just a number - it is above, below, or near what this water usually does on this calendar day. Which way it is moving: a measured RISING, FALLING, or STEADY verdict computed from the gauge's own recent readings, with the rate of change - the difference between a flood ending and one beginning. What comes next: level forecasts up to 72 hours ahead, driven by the gauge's recent behaviour, upstream water, and quantitative precipitation forecasts, alongside live radar, lightning, and weather for the surrounding region.
Alerts that watch the water for you
Set a threshold on any location - a level, a distance above typical, or a rate of climb - and Nibi emails or notifies you the moment the gauge crosses it. Cottagers use it for spring freshet, anglers for river conditions, marinas and municipalities for operations. The scanning runs around the clock against the same measured data shown on every page.
Where Nibi comes from
Nibi means water in Anishinaabemowin. The platform began at a family cottage on Lake Muskoka, Ontario, where the spring melt floods the shoreline most years and the only forecast was standing on the dock, looking, and guessing. It grew into an independent, member-funded platform run by Muskoka Research Inc. - no investors, no data resale, and a privacy policy shorter than most cookie banners. The core data is free for everyone, forever; paid plans add automation like multi-location alerts, deep history, and reports.
Coverage
Nibi spans the continent: every Canadian province and territory with active federal gauges - from Vancouver Island rivers to the Muskoka lakes, prairie reservoirs, and Quebec's hydrometric network - and the United States from Maine to the Texas Hill Country, the Ohio Valley, and the Pacific Northwest. Coverage grows where the water news is: when a basin floods, its gauges join the platform with their full historical records attached. Many stations report every five to fifteen minutes; most report at least hourly; every page states exactly when its gauge last spoke.
Free forever, funded by members
The core promise is simple: the water data is free, for everyone, forever. Live levels, maps, radar, and recent history never sit behind a paywall. Paid plans fund the platform by adding automation - multi-location alerts, decades of history, longer forecasts, and PDF reports - so the people who need more carry the cost for everyone who just needs to check the lake before driving up. There are no investors and no advertising deals shaping what the data says.
