Map of USGS gauge 02358700 and the river around it
Where APALACHICOLA RIVER NR BLOUNTSTOWN,FLORIDA sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
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: 8,440–14,200 ft³/s (middle half of 69 years of record). Now: 9,370 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 9,370 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 69 years of record (1958–2026): 10th 6,240, 25th 8,440, median 10,100, 75th 14,200, 90th 19,300 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 5,400 ft³/s, highest 28,900 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 (+3.2% 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 the agency lists for Apalachicola River: Black Bass, Bream, Catfish, Spotted Bass, Striped Bass.

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.
