No flow at the gauge. This location is dry.
The cascades and pools at the bottom of the Hill of Life, upstream of Sculpture Falls. The creek here sits above the biggest aquifer losses, so it holds water a little longer.
Standard local guidance (City of Austin watershed protection, LCRA): wait 48 - 72 hours after significant rain before swimming in creeks; up to a week after major floods. How this countdown works
Where the threshold comes from
Keyed to the Lost Creek Blvd gauge just upstream. The aquifer often empties the whole creek before Loop 360, so the downstream gauge says nothing about this spot. No published consensus; our calibration from the neighboring Sculpture Falls range.
Per-spot ranges reconciled from austintexasthings.com/flows and greenbelter.io, the two long-running hobbyist trackers.
