MonitoringLocationDescriptionText Site is basically in a nondescript area. Navigating with GPS will be the best method to find this site. During the site establishment this spot was really the only spot we could safely conduct a discharge measurement and is very close to the site USGS uses previously. The creek is braided into two distinct channels, which will likely change after next springs high flow.
