| River | Wilson Creek | Rating | Observed | Estimated |
| Updated | 2021-10-05 17:30 (2 years ago) | Flood - The river is flooding. Obstacles can be treacherous or deadly. The river should be avoided at this stage for casual trips and definitely for the inexperienced. Trips should be attempted only with protective gear and equipment.Flood | (none) | 455 |
| Discharge | 52 cfs (median: 43 cfs) | High - The river is high and potentially dangerous, especially for the young and / or inexperienced. Normal stream obstacles are sometimes difficult to navigate. Extended distances can be attempted, but canoe travel may not be advisable.High | (none) | 172 |
| Height | 2.32 feet | Good - Conditions are ideal for a canoe or kayak. Boats typically will drag on fewer than one-quarter of riffles, if at all, and portages are unnecessary or rare. Normal float lengths can be attempted without a problem.Good | (none) | 92 |
| Trend | Rising (rising over 24 hours) | Low - River is low but can still be floated. Some riffles are okay but most come with significant dragging and might need a portage. Float lengths should be reduced to accommodate low flow, dragging, and portages.Low | (none) | 76 |
| USGS | USGS Site ( Duck Duck Go Maps) | Poor - River is too low to float comfortably. Most or all riffles will drag or must be portaged and some obstacles (such as slick shelf rock) cause undue problems. Avoid the river at this stage for casual paddling trips.Poor | (none) | 48 |

 | 2020-05-17 | Roundtree | Old Limey Road | Total trip distance: 6.0 miles6.0 | Good | 448 | 3.78 | Poor | RSF Barton, AdamBarton, Brooke Brumfield, Josh Brumfield, Rachel Pendergraft, Jonathan Pendergraft, Laurel  The creek was up and flowing quite well. Not sure if it classifies as "high" but it was moving at a good clip. Most gravel bars were covered and there was one tree down in the creek that had to be portaged around. We put in at the bike trail just downstream from the wastewater treatment plant and floated down through Wilson's Creek National Battlefield. This float is very scenic and gives you the opportunity to see a different side of the park. The takeout at Limey Road is a bit tricky since its at the end of a shoal.
