Map of USGS gauge 02234000 and the river around it
Where ST. JOHNS RIVER ABOVE LAKE HARNEY NEAR GENEVA, FL 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. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Florida rule: 68°F.
Normal for Nov 5: 1,480–4,500 ft³/s (middle half of 45 years of record). Now: 8,730 ft³/s, highest for this date on record.
Highest for this date on record for this date. 8,730 ft³/s is above the highest daily mean recorded on this date of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 45 years of record (1982–2026): 10th 1,060, 25th 1,480, median 2,530, 75th 4,500, 90th 7,270 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 195 ft³/s, highest 8,030 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 (+8.3% 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 list not on file for this gauge. Check the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission: Florida freshwater fishing sites and forecasts · Florida saltwater recreational fishing regulations.
Minor flooding (NWS). NWS minor flood stage: water out of its banks in places. Don't wade; stay off the river.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)NWS forecast: Moderate flooding (NWS). The National Weather Service river forecast for this gauge reaches that category. Plan around it and check the forecast again before you go.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)Flow above the record for this date. Higher than any daily mean USGS has recorded on this date at this gauge. Expect much higher, faster water than usual for the season.
hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) Statistics documentation (percentiles of daily mean discharge) (U.S. Geological Survey)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)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.
Minor flooding (NWS). NWS minor flood stage: water out of its banks in places. Don't wade; stay off the river.
NWS observed 8.91 ft stage at Nov 5, 10:30 PM EST (NWS gauge GENF1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
