ELK RIVER NEAR FRAMETOWN, WV

USGS publishes no daily statistics for this gauge, so the reading is not compared with the record.

Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 16.4%, from 536 to 624 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.

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.
