Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

The Matanuska River is gauged at the Glenn Highway Bridge in Palmer. The main channel is usually ice free sometime in mid-May. Normally, it then runs low through about mid-June, and then begins to rise with the warmer weather and longer days. It usually peaks in late-July with glacial flows. It then drops into late-September to mid-October until the ice forms up.
