Reading Nov 5, 7:00 PM CST · provisional USGS data
Below NWS action stage
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: White River near Fayetteville, AR (USGS 07048600, 27.3 miles away).
Water temperature, last 7 days: 169 readings from Oct 29, 8:15 PM CDT to Nov 5, 7:00 PM CST; ranging 48.7 to 52 °F; latest 49.6 °F.

Map of USGS gauge 07049691 and the river around it
Where White River at Beaver Dam near Eureka Springs sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river.
Under Arkansas Game and Fish's 65°F line. Water 49.6°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 51.4°F. That is under the 65 to 67°F at which Arkansas Game and Fish suggests anglers “may consider fishing only in the morning”. It asks anglers to “carry a pocket thermometer and check the water periodically while fishing.”

Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)Cold water. Water 49.6°F. NWS: “Cold shock can be just as severe and dangerous from water temperatures of 50-60°F (10-15°C) as it is from water at 35°F (2°C).” “Always wear a life jacket in and around the water.”
Cold Water Hazards and Safety (National Weather Service)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 5.5 mg/L at Nov 5, 7:00 PM CST; 7-day range 4.1–7.7 mg/L
Below EPA's coldwater mean: 5.5 mg/L is under the 6.5 mg/L 30-day mean EPA sets for coldwater fish (other life stages), though above its 4 mg/L minimum. One reading is not a 30-day mean. Wyoming Game and Fish: “Higher water temperatures lead to lower oxygen levels.”
