The Lamar River (and others) continue to hit record flows, several weeks ahead of schedule. Things could get interesting in the next few weeks as there is still a lot of snow in the high country. The USGS maintains current streamflow levels for the Lamar River, the Yellowstone River, and hundreds of other streams and rivers in the region. It’s a great resource, and interesting to look at how current streamflow compares to the historical record.
Watching the Lamar River as it rises in the spring is one of our favorite spring rituals. Read more about it the post Our Top Five Yellowstone Spring Favorites.
