Waubonsie Creek Gauge Information
Waubonsie Creek
River DescriptionThe Waubonsie is a small creek in Oswego which (with adequate water) comes up to a class II-III run.The run starts in Stone Gate Park (on Hwy.25, just east of Hwy.34) and runs out to the Fox River. Craig Carlson provides (2006-10-22): The third of the 4 drops in Stone gate, when the water is up, develops a nice little hole with good eddies on ether side. The fourth drop should be scouted before running. Depending on the water level, there may be several large rocks just under the surface and the chance of logs or large branches that tend to gather throughout the drop. Below the last drop, the creek makes a slight right turn with some riffles and a couple small holes, then leads under the Hwy. 25 bridge where for a couple years was a large strainer before the park service cleaned it out, but still should be checked out. After Hwy. 25 the creek makes a slight left turn and into a small canyon with small ledge drops and waves. In the middle of the canyon, when the creek makes a slight right turn, there are a couple of ledges that stick out of the left wall at head height. Just past the railroad bridge is a low bridge and when the water is up you‘ll only have about 3 feet clearance. Additional information about the watershed may be found at the IL USDA website.

Blackberry Creek gauge not accurate with levels on Waubonsee Creek. Last week I ran the Waubonsee with Blackberry gauging 136 cfs. And the full run was up. Today the gauge showed 174 cfs. and it was 2" at best. Heavy rains in southeast Aurora and western Naperville needed to bring the run up.
