Map of USGS gauge 04219000 and the river around it
Where ERIE (BARGE) CANAL AT LOCK 30 AT MACEDON NY sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer: the trout lines New York DEC uses are 70°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation: New York fish stocking lists · New York freshwater fishing regulations.
Normal for Nov 5: 136–203 ft³/s (middle half of 27 years of record). Now: 148 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 148 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 27 years of record (1998–2026): 10th 99, 25th 136, median 168, 75th 203, 90th 223 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 89.6 ft³/s, highest 237 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 (+0% 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.
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.
