Map of USGS gauge 02042500 and the river around it
Where CHICKAHOMINY RIVER NEAR PROVIDENCE FORGE, VA sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river.
Within Virginia DWR's comfort range. Water 61.9°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 62.1°F. Virginia DWR: trout “are most comfortable in highly oxygenated water that doesn’t exceed 68 degrees in temperature.” It also warns that “Trout become stressed in water temperatures in the mid- to upper-60s”: on warm days, “consider fishing early in the morning for a few hours and then quitting.”
Normal for Nov 5: 50–309 ft³/s (middle half of 84 years of record). Now: 30.3 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 30.3 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 84 years of record (1943–2026): 10th 19, 25th 50, median 115, 75th 309, 90th 445 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 1.52 ft³/s, highest 1,820 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 (+7.8% 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.

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)Specific conductance 151 µS/cm at Nov 5, 8:00 PM EST; 7-day range 147–151 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 2.21 ft stage, 31 ft³/s at Nov 5, 7:00 PM EST (NWS gauge CKHV2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point.
