This means the water is rolling. Between Moderate and Major Flood Stage.

As we close the month, the gauge level is similar to where the Cache was last year.

What’s so special about the Cache River?

For those who might not appreciate the muddy Cache River, I would like to share why those of us living in the Delta do.

The Cache River is 213 miles long and part of the Mississippi River watershed.

The Cache River supports 53 mammalian species, over 200 bird species, and nearly 50 species of reptiles and amphibians. The Cache is an important wintering area for migratory waterfowl.

I understand that the watershed contains the largest remaining tract of contiguous bottomland hardwood forest found in North America. Remarkable!

So, it might be muddy, but there is a lot to love about the Cache.

See for yourself what the Cache sounds and looks like in flood stage.

The benefit we are receiving from the abundant rain is the first peek of Spring 2023.

Perspective is everything.

When you see peach tree buds and daffodils you know winter is on the way out!

I bet many of you join me in celebrating this changing of the seasons.
