Map of USGS gauge 01117350 and the river around it
Where Chipuxet River at West Kingston, RI sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Rhode Island DEM publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Rhode Island rule: 68°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Rhode Island DEM, Division of Fish and Wildlife / Division of Marine Fisheries: Rhode Island designated trout waters · Rhode Island freshwater fishing regulations (official eRegulations guide).
Normal for Nov 5: 5.8–17 ft³/s (middle half of 55 years of record). Now: 8.23 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 8.23 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 55 years of record (1959–2026): 10th 3.5, 25th 5.8, median 8.6, 75th 17, 90th 28 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0.54 ft³/s, highest 46 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 13.2%, from 9.48 to 8.23 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.
