Map of USGS gauge 01401650 and the river around it
Where Pike Run at Belle Mead NJ sits.
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.

Normal for Nov 5: 0.83–4 ft³/s (middle half of 45 years of record). Now: 1.27 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 1.27 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 45 years of record (1981–2025): 10th 0.43, 25th 0.83, median 2, 75th 4, 90th 13 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 0 ft³/s, highest 28.3 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 10.6%, from 1.42 to 1.27 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.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)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.
