Map of USGS gauge 02239000 and the river around it
Where OCKLAWAHA RIVER NR OCALA,FLA. sits, with 6 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: 56–447 ft³/s (middle half of 54 years of record). Now: 40.1 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 40.1 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 54 years of record (1931–2026): 10th 31, 25th 56, median 224, 75th 447, 90th 734 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 13.1 ft³/s, highest 1,490 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 15.2%, from 47.3 to 40.1 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.
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.
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.
