COTTONWOOD R AT COTTONWOOD FALLS, KS

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

Falling over 24 hours: discharge down 45.3%, from 815 to 446 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.

Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks: Kansas trout permit and trout waters.

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.
