Use this website for all your water flow needs. Above is the link for the Mississippi by Fort Ripley.

Good link posted by Jimmy. I use the one for the Brainerd area and it's currently showing a reading of 4.46 feet. Last year I never saw it drop below 5.0. It's VERY low right now. If you head out there just use extreme caution. I've written off the river as an option this year due to the extreme low water levels.
