USGS keeps no flow statistics at this gauge, so there is no normal range for flow; the chart shows gauge height as USGS publishes it.
Map of USGS gauge 03110690 and the river around it
Where OHIO R AT NEW CUMBERLAND LOCK & DAM (LOWER), OH sits, with 8 other gauges on the same river.
Falling over 24 hours: gauge height down 0.39 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.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Ohio Division of Wildlife publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Ohio rule: 68°F.
