Map of USGS gauge 01117468 and the river around it
Where BEAVER RIVER NEAR USQUEPAUG, RI sits and our water's map point.
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 the agency lists for Beaver River: Brook Trout.
Source: Beaver River: wild Brook Trout water (RIDEM feature, 2026 guide) (Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM), Division of Fish and Wildlife (2026 Freshwater Fishing guide, official eRegulations edition)).
Normal for Nov 5: 4.8–16 ft³/s (middle half of 51 years of record). Now: 17 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 17 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 51 years of record (1976–2026): 10th 4, 25th 4.8, median 9.4, 75th 16, 90th 28 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 3.3 ft³/s, highest 41 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 (−7.1% 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.
