No flow at this gauge. USGS does not publish discharge here, so there are no flow statistics either; it reports what is shown. Flow on the same river: SALT RIVER AT SHEPHERDSVILLE, KY (USGS 03298500, 11.2 miles away).
Gauge height, last 7 days: 170 readings from Oct 29, 10:00 PM EDT to Nov 5, 9:00 PM EST; ranging 8.55 to 10.9 ft; latest 10.4 ft.
USGS provisional data may be revised. Source: USGS instantaneous values.

Map of USGS gauge 03302058 and the river around it
Where SALT RIVER AT MAIN RANGE RD NR WEST POINT, KY sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river.
Federal guidance. Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Kentucky rule:
Under the federal 68°F line. Water 60.3°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 64°F. That is under the 68°F at which the National Park Service, at Grand Teton National Park, recommends anglers stop fishing in the afternoon (“cease fishing at 2 p.m. when water temperatures are likely to exceed 68°F”). Water warms through the afternoon, so check again later in the day: “Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperature.”
Steady over 24 hours (gauge height +0.07 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.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources: Kentucky trout stocking schedule · Kentucky fishing and boating guide.
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)Dissolved oxygen 6.5 mg/L at Nov 5, 9:00 PM EST; 7-day range 6.4–10.5 mg/L
Enough oxygen for coldwater fish: 6.5 mg/L meets the 6.5 mg/L EPA sets for coldwater fish (other life stages; eggs and fry need a 8 mg/L minimum).
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)pH 7.9 at Nov 5, 9:00 PM EST; 7-day range 7.7–8.3
Within EPA's freshwater range: pH 7.9 is within the 6.5–9 range EPA gives for freshwater aquatic life.
Quality Criteria for Water 1986 (“Gold Book”): dissolved oxygen, Table 1; pH (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)Turbidity 23.9 FNU at Nov 5, 9:00 PM EST; 7-day range 8.6–23.9 FNU
Water clarity: Turbidity measures the relative clarity of water: higher means murkier. No agency publishes a fishing threshold for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Turbidity 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.
NWS observed 10.4 ft stage at Nov 5, 8:00 PM EST (NWS gauge WPTK2; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
Forecasts are not available. Only observed stages are available for this point.
