Map of USGS gauge 01473169 and the river around it
Where Valley Creek at PA Turnpike Br near Valley Forge sits and our water's map point.
Above the preferred range. Water 60.6°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 60.8°F. Warmer than the 50 to 60°F the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission gives as preferred for trout, but not over the 70°F at which it asks anglers to take extra care landing them.
PFBC position statement on closing coldwater tributary mouths to angling in summer (2006)Normal for Nov 5: 17–33 ft³/s (middle half of 43 years of record). Now: 18.6 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 18.6 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 43 years of record (1983–2025): 10th 15, 25th 17, median 21, 75th 33, 90th 67 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 8.94 ft³/s, highest 130 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 (+2.8% 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.
Species the agency lists for Valley Creek: Brown Trout.
Source: Class A Wild Trout Waters (Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission).
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.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)Turbidity 0.9 FNU at Nov 5, 8:30 PM EST; 7-day range 0.7–1.6 FNU
Water clarity: Turbidity measures the relative clarity of water: higher means murkier. No agency publishes a fishing threshold for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Turbidity and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)Specific conductance 908 µS/cm at Nov 5, 8:30 PM EST; 7-day range 895–915 µS/cm
Dissolved ions: Specific conductance rises with the ions dissolved in the water. No fishing threshold is published for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Conductivity (Electrical Conductance) and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)Guidance from the readings above and the published thresholds named with each line; not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access. Local rules and closures come first.
Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 3.22 ft stage, 21 ft³/s at Nov 5, 8:30 PM EST (NWS gauge VFGP1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are issued routinely year-round.
