About Turkey C East Seep below Teller Reservoir near Stone City
Turkey C East Seep below Teller Reservoir near Stone City is in the Upper Arkansas watershed in Colorado.
Season by season
This reach follows the mountain snowpack cycle that shapes the Upper Arkansas. Spring is the period to watch for the main lift in water. Summer can still bring sharp, short rises when thunderstorms pass through. Winter is the long low-flow season, and late summer usually sits lower than the spring period.
For anyone checking a crossing, intake, or fishing access, that means the river can change from one season to the next more than it changes from one day to the next. The key question is not just where it is today, but how much room a dock or bank setup has for a larger spring pulse and a summer storm spike.
Records and rises
The station has more than 25 years on record, but the record high, record low, and fastest 24-hour rise are not available here.
With those fields missing, the safest reading is simple: this site is a place to watch the day-to-day shifts rather than to lean on a published extreme. For local use, the practical issue is warning time. A fast rise matters most for low crossings, banks, and anything set close to the waterline.
Reading the hero number
The hero number on this page is the current reading compared with the median for this calendar day across the station record. That is more useful than raw elevation because it tells you whether today is running typical for this date, rather than only how high the water sits in one moment.
This station is a USGS site, and the comparison is built from its record of more than 25 years. For cottagers, anglers, and anyone watching water supply or flood response, that day-median check is the quick way to see whether the river is acting seasonally normal or sitting above or below its usual level for this time of year.
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.
