Reading Nov 5, 9:42 PM EST · provisional USGS data
Falling · 24 h Below NWS action stage
No flow at this gauge. USGS does not publish discharge here, so there are no flow statistics either; it reports what is shown. Flow on the same river: Kennebec River at North Sidney, Maine (USGS 01049265, 11.5 miles away).
Gauge height, last 7 days: 169 readings from Oct 29, 10:42 PM EDT to Nov 5, 9:42 PM EST; ranging -2.5 to 4.43 ft; latest 1.8 ft.
USGS provisional data may be revised. Source: USGS instantaneous values.

USGS keeps no flow statistics at this gauge, so there is no normal range for flow; the chart shows gauge height as USGS publishes it.
Map of USGS gauge 01049320 and the river around it
Where Kennebec River at Calumet Bridge at Augusta, Maine sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river.
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.
Falling over 24 hours: gauge height down 1.18 ft. 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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
