Map of USGS gauge 01446500 and the river around it
Where Delaware River at Belvidere NJ sits, with 5 other gauges on the same river.
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: 2,390–7,850 ft³/s (middle half of 104 years of record). Now: 2,890 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 2,890 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 104 years of record (1923–2026): 10th 1,760, 25th 2,390, median 4,690, 75th 7,850, 90th 13,400 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 816 ft³/s, highest 55,200 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 (+4% 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.
