Map of USGS gauge 03184000 and the river around it
Where GREENBRIER RIVER AT HILLDALE, WV sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. West Virginia DNR publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a West Virginia rule: 68°F.
Normal for Nov 5: 202–1,210 ft³/s (middle half of 90 years of record). Now: 239 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 239 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 90 years of record (1937–2026): 10th 106, 25th 202, median 564, 75th 1,210, 90th 2,780 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 56 ft³/s, highest 40,000 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 (−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.
