Stream Flow and Current Conditions

Be sure to check the stream conditions before heading out on the Flat River. The USGS stream gauge at Smyrna, MI provides a good indication of current conditions.

The graph shows the stream flow (discharge) for the past 7-days. If flows are considerably above or below historical norms (yellow triangles on the chart) then river conditions may not be ideal.
