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 Hurley River below Lone Goat Creek
Hurley River below Lone Goat Creek - a vital flow in British Columbia’s mountain landscape.
The Hurley River flows peacefully below Lone Goat Creek, a serpentine watercourse within the scenic Lower Fraser - Bridge watershed of British Columbia. Draining roughly 312 square kilometres of surrounding terrain, this river enjoys a seasonal rhythm heavily influenced by regional hydrology, specifically the melting snowpack and glacial-fed waters typical of mountainous areas. From late spring into summer, the river reaches its peak, buoyed by the spring freshet that characterizes the melt-off of accumulated snow.
The watershed context
The Hurley River is part of a dynamic ecosystem that includes several notable peers such as Bridge River above Downton Lake and Cayoosh Creek near Lillooet. These waterways contribute to the greater hydrology of the region, where freshwater systems are often dependent on snowmelt and, throughout the summer months, exhibit a natural decline as evaporation rates increase alongside lower inflow. This interconnected river system provides crucial habitat for a variety of species and supports local fisheries and biodiversity.
Why the data matters here
Monitoring the Hurley River below Lone Goat Creek provides essential information about water levels in this area. Today's reading from the Water Survey of Canada shows how the river compares to its historical median for this day. This comparison is significant as it gives a better understanding of current conditions in relation to historical patterns. With data collected over nearly 30 years, this river continues to be a critical resource for the ecosystems that depend on its flow, allowing cottagers, anglers, and researchers to make informed decisions about their usage and conservation efforts.
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.
