The Mississippi River at Guttenberg has continued a decline since reaching a crest on April 29 of  20.96 ft.

As of Sunday, May 7, the river had dropped approximately 4.25 ft. from the crest, and was expected to sit at 14.30 ft. by Sunday, May 14.

The river is now in minor flood stage. Island Road opened last week when the river receded to 19 ft. 

In Guttenberg, major flood stage begins at 21 feet, moderate at 18 feet and flood stage at 15 feet.

The highest historic crest here was 23.65 feet on April 24, 1965, followed by a crest of 21.68 feet in 2001, making this year's the third highest on record.
