USGS keeps no flow statistics at this gauge, so there is no normal range for flow; the chart shows gauge height as USGS publishes it.
Map of USGS gauge 01636765 and the river around it
Where POTOMAC RIVER AT BURKITTSVILLE RD AT BRUNSWICK, MD sits, with 4 other gauges on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines Maryland DNR uses are 65°F and 68°F.
Steady over 24 hours (gauge height +0.01 ft). 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 list not on file for this gauge. Check the Maryland Department of Natural Resources: Maryland trout stocking · Maryland fishing regulations.
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.
