Live levels from 3 monitoring stations across Westmorland and Furness, updated every 15 minutes.
| Station | Level now | Status | ||

Stations are listed from source to mouth as the water flows, traced on the river map (OS Open Rivers) and the Environment Agency’s own links between its gauges. A distance “by river” is along the river, and is shown only where the map traces the path.

Streams and rivers with a gauge whose water joins the Eamont above one of its gauges, from the source down. Named streams without a gauge that have a page here are listed at the end.
Joins the Eamont above Pooley Bridge, its highest gauge, no more than 970 m by river above Pooley Bridge.
| Glenridding Steamer Pier | 0.72 m 34m ago | Normal |
| 11.7 km by river | ||
| Pooley Bridge Steamer Pier | 1.47 m 34m ago | Normal |
Its water passes every gauge on the Eamont, from Pooley Bridge down.
Joins the Eamont between Pooley Bridge and Eamont Bridge Farm, no more than 9.1 km by river above Eamont Bridge Farm.
| Dacre Bridge | 0.29 m 34m ago | Low |
Its water passes Eamont Bridge Farm and every gauge below it on the Eamont. It does not pass Pooley Bridge or the gauges above it.
Joins the Eamont between Eamont Bridge Farm and Udford New, no more than 7.8 km by river above Udford New.
| Bampton Grange | 0.36 m 34m ago | Normal |
| 12.4 km by river | ||
| Eamont Bridge | 0.43 m 34m ago | Normal |
Its water passes Udford New and every gauge below it on the Eamont. It does not pass Eamont Bridge Farm or the gauges above it.
Joins the Eamont between Eamont Bridge Farm and Udford New, no more than 8.6 km by river above Udford New.

Its water passes Udford New and every gauge below it on the Eamont. It does not pass Eamont Bridge Farm or the gauges above it.
Below Udford New, its water next reaches Great Corby, a gauge on River Eden, 37.9 km by river downstream.
Tributaries and where they join are traced on the river map (OS Open Rivers, edition 2026-04) and the Environment Agency’s links between its gauges. The map holds distances between gauges, not the junctions themselves, so a junction is placed between two gauges, and no further up than the tributary’s own lowest gauge.

15 storm overflows are traced upstream of Udford New, the Eamont’s lowest gauge on the river map: on the Eamont itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.
Official figures for 2025, for the overflows traced upstream of Udford New: 422 spills over 3,630 hours in total, across all 15.
Each overflow is listed in the stretch above the first gauge its water reaches, from the source down, as on the Gauges tab. A stretch of the Eamont includes the smaller streams that join it there.
Within 3 km of one of the Eamont’s gauges in a straight line, but the river map cannot say whether their water reaches it.
2 other overflows within 3 km of these gauges are placed below the Eamont’s lowest gauge or on another river, so not listed.
A status is the water company’s own monitor: it says whether an overflow is discharging, never how much or why, and a spill does not by itself explain a change in a river level. A status older than two hours is shown as unknown. Annual figures are the official returns: 12/24-hour spills for England and Wales, overflow events for Scotland (Scottish Water counts differently, so the two cannot be compared). “No data” means the monitor produced no usable data that year, not zero. Overflows are placed on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels: an overflow the map cannot place may still drain here.

Dated samples taken by the Environment Agency, not live readings. Results are published days to months after the sample is taken, and many points are sampled only a few times a year, or have not been sampled for years.
55 sampling points on the River Eamont and the streams that join it above Udford New, and below it. 17 have a sample from the last 12 months; 23 have any sample banked.
Sampled most recently, anywhere on the Eamont and its streams:

England's samples only. Each count opens the list of those points, nearest first, with the date of each one’s latest sample (the gauge’s “Upstream of here” list).
FloodRadar does not grade these results: there is no overall score, and official river classifications are a separate dataset. A sample taken downstream of an overflow does not by itself show where anything in it came from. River connections and distances are traced on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels.
