The streams are starting to come up considerably. Baker Creek two weeks ago was 22 cubic feet per second (cfs) at the park boundary. Last week it was 38 cfs. During the winter it's about 1.5 cfs. At peak flow in 2005, it was estimated at more than 300 cfs. So it can certainly be an interesting stream, to say the least!
Silver Creek has filled the reservoir and excess water is going down the spillway. Hendrys and Smith creeks are making it down to the Gandy Road. Mill, Strawberry, and Weaver are flowing under Highway 6 & 50. As long as everything is going under the road, we're in good shape!
We still have a lot of snow up high. Lehman Creek is up to 22 cfs from 14 cfs last week, but that's still fairly close to the median. That means we have a lot more to come. I'll try to get some photos! You can see the latest stream gauge info for Lehman Creek here.
