Sorted by days in range over the last 7 days, then by closeness to the date's median flow. Flow is only one input: check regulations, closures, weather and local reports. See all states and how to read a status.
Data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Readings are provisional and subject to revision. Flowcast statuses are automated comparisons with each gauge's own history, not safety ratings or fishing reports. Check local conditions, weather, regulations and closures before you go. Rivers can change quickly.
