Map of USGS gauge 02390000 and the river around it
Where AMICALOLA CREEK NEAR DAWSONVILLE, GA. sits and our water's map point.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Georgia DNR Wildlife Resources Division publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Georgia rule, with Georgia DNR Wildlife Resources Division's own figure added: 68°F and 72°F.
This gauge is on our page for Amicalola Creek, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Normal for Nov 5: 67–134 ft³/s (middle half of 34 years of record). Now: 160 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 160 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 34 years of record (1940–2026): 10th 53, 25th 67, median 93, 75th 134, 90th 220 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 37.3 ft³/s, highest 254 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 74.9%, from 637 to 160 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.
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.

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 0.85 ft stage, 160 ft³/s at Nov 5, 9:15 PM EST (NWS gauge DONG1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
