USGS flood level graph from the measuring station across from Boat House Row. Peaked at 16.35 feet on September 2, 2021 at 9:30am. This is the second highest river level ever measured. The higest was 17.00 feet on October 4, 1869.
USGS flood level graph from the measuring station on Green Lane bridge. Peaked at 42.69 feet at 8:15am. The gage is only a few years old so we don't have historical river crest data.
National Hydrologic Prediction Service page for the Schuylkill River at Boat House Row. Records flood levels along with predictions. In my experience the predictions are always high and must be taken with a grain of salt. It's more accurate to look at the curve from the graphs and you can anticipate when it will start to flatten out.
Table of historic flood crests as well as a map of the location of the gage.
