Little Spokane River at Pine Park
The Little Spokane River at Pine Park is the closest site to the existing
USGS stream gage at Dartford. During drought or low flow years, the
Little Spokane River at Dartford gage is used to determine whether
water use under certain water rights must be curtailed. The Little
Spokane River at Dartford may be subject to some influence of groundwater
discharge from WRIA 57 through the Hillyard trough.
The Pine Park location is slightly upstream from the Dartford gage
and is not influenced by groundwater flow from the Hillyard Trough.
Flows at Pine Park are generally 10 cfs to 60 cfs lower than at
the Dartford gage. Historic
and realtime
flow data are available.
