Map of USGS gauge 02243000 and the river around it
Where ORANGE CREEK AT ORANGE SPRINGS, FL sits.
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: 9.8–128 ft³/s (middle half of 78 years of record). Now: 22.7 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 22.7 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 78 years of record (1943–2026): 10th 5, 25th 9.8, median 37, 75th 128, 90th 340 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 2 ft³/s, highest 700 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 16.2%, from 27.1 to 22.7 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.
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.
