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.

No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. New Jersey Fish and Wildlife publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a New Jersey rule, with New Jersey Fish and Wildlife's own figure added: 68°F and 72°F.

Steady over 24 hours (gauge height −0.07 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.
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.

The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
Checked Nov 5, 9:55 PM EST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
