Map of USGS gauge 01563500 and the river around it
Where Juniata River at Mapleton Depot, PA sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission uses are 60°F, 70°F and 72°F.
Normal for Nov 5: 583–2,030 ft³/s (middle half of 54 years of record). Now: 1,830 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 1,830 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 54 years of record (1973–2026): 10th 528, 25th 583, median 858, 75th 2,030, 90th 3,430 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 416 ft³/s, highest 6,960 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 33.9%, from 2,770 to 1,830 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.
This gauge is on our page for Juniata River, but no agency page we read lists its species.

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.
