Map of USGS gauge 04236800 and the river around it
Where SKANEATELES CREEK NEAR SKANEATELES JUNCTION NY sits and our water's map point.
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.
This gauge is on our page for Skaneateles Creek, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Normal for Nov 5: 15–135 ft³/s (middle half of 12 years of record). Now: 17.8 ft³/s, normal.
Normal for this date. 17.8 ft³/s is between the 25th and 75th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 12 years of record (2015–2026): 10th 12, 25th 15, median 20, 75th 135, 90th 233 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 11.6 ft³/s, highest 239 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 (−5.3% 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.
