Map of USGS gauge 01431500 and the river around it
Where Lackawaxen River at Hawley, PA sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river.
In or under PFBC's preferred range. Water 54°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 54.9°F. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission: “The preferred temperature range for trout is between 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit.”
Normal for Nov 5: 102–450 ft³/s (middle half of 66 years of record). Now: 115 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 115 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 66 years of record (1960–2025): 10th 42, 25th 102, median 223, 75th 450, 90th 667 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 21 ft³/s, highest 1,240 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 (+7.5% 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.

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)Cold water. Water 54°F. NWS: “Cold shock can be just as severe and dangerous from water temperatures of 50-60°F (10-15°C) as it is from water at 35°F (2°C).” “Always wear a life jacket in and around the water.”
Cold Water Hazards and Safety (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.
