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 Horse Creek at Horse Cyn near Garden Gate Pass
Horse Creek - A rugged waterway flowing through the Pine watershed.
Nestled in the heart of the Pine watershed, Horse Creek at Horse Canyon near Garden Gate Pass is an essential component of the local hydrology in Nevada. This river captures the essence of the arid Great Basin landscape, where mountain snowmelt fuels spring surges and summer thunderstorms can lead to sudden, localized flash floods. With a drainage area of roughly 7.3 square miles, Horse Creek serves as a lifeline for the flora and fauna that inhabit this dry and rugged terrain.
The watershed context
The Pine watershed, known for its variability in flow, is characterized by its reliance on seasonal patterns dictated by arid conditions. The annual cycle sees a strong influence from snowmelt in the spring, which contributes to increased flows during that time, while summer months may bring erratic flows due to sudden storm events. This river also finds itself in proximity to several other streams, including Henderson Creek and Pine Creek, each contributing to the dynamic hydrology of the area.
Why the data matters here
Understanding the current water levels at Horse Creek is crucial for a number of reasons. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) monitors this station not just for its elevation readings, but also for discharge measurements, which provide valuable insights into regional water availability and health. Comparing today's reading against the median for this calendar day across the historical record—spanning more than 13 years—allows for a clearer understanding of current conditions and potential fluctuations. This data serves to inform anglers, cottagers, and those engaged in outdoor activities, making it an important resource for the local community and visitors alike.
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.
