USGS gauge St. Johns R at Buffalo Bluff, about 4 mi away — updated daily (reading from 2026-08-27). Stage is measured against the gauge’s own datum, so the trend matters more than the number: a falling stage can expose ramp ends and shallows. No tides here — freshwater levels move with rainfall and water management.
