Map of USGS gauge 01117420 and the river around it
Where Usquepaug River Near Usquepaug, 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.

Normal for Nov 5: 19–61 ft³/s (middle half of 53 years of record). Now: 63.9 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 63.9 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 53 years of record (1959–2026): 10th 15, 25th 19, median 35, 75th 61, 90th 106 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 9.8 ft³/s, highest 167 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).
Steady over 24 hours (+0% discharge). 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.
