Map of USGS gauge 03039040 and the river around it
Where Allegheny River at Lock & Dam 5 near Freeport, PA sits, with 8 other gauges on the same river.
Steady over 24 hours (gauge height −0.03 ft). 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.
In or under PFBC's preferred range. Water 57.4°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 57.7°F. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission: “The preferred temperature range for trout is between 50 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit.”

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)Cold water. Water 57.4°F. NWS: “Cold shock can be just as severe and dangerous from water temperatures of 50-60°F (10-15°C) as it is from water at 35°F (2°C).” “Always wear a life jacket in and around the water.”
Cold Water Hazards and Safety (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.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)Specific conductance 241 µS/cm at Nov 5, 7:30 PM EST; 7-day range 229–241 µS/cm
Dissolved ions: Specific conductance rises with the ions dissolved in the water. No fishing threshold is published for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Conductivity (Electrical Conductance) and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)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.
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 9.76 ft stage, 3,360 ft³/s at Nov 5, 7:30 PM EST (NWS gauge FREP1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 8:59 AM EST. Highest point: 9.8 ft, 3,560 ft³/s on Nov 5, 1:00 PM EST (Below NWS action stage).
