Nibi Metrics
Real-time water levels, forecasts, and alerts for lakes and rivers across Canada and the US. Built on official government data.
Nibi Metrics turns raw gauge readings from official hydrometric networks into something a person standing on a dock can actually use: is the water high or low for today, which way is it moving, and how unusual is this? This page explains where every number on the platform comes from and what we do to it along the way.

About GLACIAL LAKE 2.5 MI N OF NUGGET C NR AUKE BAY AK
Glacial Lake 2.5 MI N of Nugget C - A serene water body nestled in the Lynn Canal.
Glacial Lake, located 2.5 miles north of Nugget Creek near Auke Bay, Alaska, is a captivating water body that plays a significant role in the local hydrology of the Lynn Canal. This lake is part of a dynamic ecosystem influenced by the typical subarctic climate, where spring breakup and snowmelt initiate the annual flood cycle.
The watershed context
This lake is situated within the Lynn Canal watershed, a region noted for its robust natural beauty and ecological significance. While Glacial Lake does not have a measured drainage area, it exists amidst several companion water bodies, including Antler River, Lemon Creek, and the Mendenhall River, all of which contribute to the intricate web of water flows in this part of Alaska. The interplay of these nearby rivers and streams highlights the importance of this ecosystem in supporting local wildlife and vegetation.
Why the data matters here
As monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), today’s reading provides insight into the lake's hydrological patterns, especially when compared against historical median values for this date. Understanding this context is crucial; it allows cottagers, anglers, and flood-watchers to comprehend the potential impacts on recreational and natural ecosystems. While the station does not measure flow, tracking the lake's levels contributes to a greater awareness of seasonal variations, informing future resource management and ecological studies in the Lynn Canal area.
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.
