Map of USGS gauge 01017060 and the river around it
Where Hardwood Brook below Glidden Brk nr Caribou, Maine sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Maine IF&W uses are 68°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife: Maine fish stocking report · Maine fishing laws and rules.
Normal for Nov 5: 4.3–8.6 ft³/s (middle half of 15 years of record). Now: 2.6 ft³/s, much below normal.
Much below normal for this date. 2.6 ft³/s is below the 10th percentile of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 15 years of record (2010–2025): 10th 3, 25th 4.3, median 4.6, 75th 8.6, 90th 23 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 1.74 ft³/s, highest 29.5 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 19.5%, from 3.23 to 2.6 ft³/s. Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
Turn Around Don't Drown. “A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult.” No flow number makes a crossing safe; if in doubt, stay out.
