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.
For five years, spring 2019 was the mark every Lake Muskoka decision answered to. In April 2026 the lake went two centimeters higher - and the official books have not caught up yet.

Live river level, flow, historical records and forecast for Nottawasaga River near Edenvale in Canada, ON, Canada, built from official government gauge data.
Nottawasaga River - A key tributary in the region's hydrology.
The Nottawasaga River near Edenvale is an integral part of Ontario's extensive watershed system. Known for its seasonal flows, this river plays a vital role in supporting both local ecosystems and human activities in the area.
The river drains a substantial catchment area of approximately 2,680 square kilometers, making it an important vein within the Nottawasaga watershed. Flowing alongside several other notable water bodies like the Boyne River and Coldwater River, it contributes to the regional water dynamics that shape the landscape and habitat. The watershed is influenced by a snowmelt-driven seasonal hydrology, with significant fluctuations in water levels observed throughout the year. Late spring typically brings about a freshet driven by melting snow, while the summer months see a natural drawdown as evaporation and reduced inflow take effect.
Monitoring the Nottawasaga River at this station, managed by Water Survey of Canada, allows for real-time insights into river conditions. Today's reading provides an essential benchmark for understanding the water levels compared against the historical median for this date. Over the past 32 years, the station data has become a reliable reference for tracking seasonal changes and supports various activities—from fishing to flood management. Understanding these readings gives local stakeholders vital information for making informed decisions in water resource management and environmental conservation.
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.
