Frequently Asked Questions

How many public stream gauges does Waderly index in Illinois?

Waderly currently indexes 358 public USGS stream gauges in Illinois. Examples on this page include 22n7w-28.5a (il Tree Nursery), 22n7w-29.1d3 (dp-2), 22n7w-29.1d4 (sh-2).

What can I find on the Illinois stream gauges page?

This state hub links to every indexed Waderly gauge page in Illinois, so you can jump from a statewide view into current flow, gauge height, water temperature, and weather for individual rivers and creeks.

Why use the Illinois state hub instead of searching one river at a time?

The Illinois hub is a crawlable index of the full state network. It makes it easier to compare nearby waters, discover smaller creeks you may not search by name, and reach every gauge page from one place.

Waderly supports public stream gauges across all 50 states. This Illinois page includes the full state index, so search engines and users can reach every gauge from one crawlable hub.

These pages are built from the public USGS stream-gauge network and linked into Waderly's map so anglers, paddlers, and waders can move from a broad state view into specific rivers quickly.
