No flow at this gauge. USGS does not publish discharge here, so there are no flow statistics either; it reports what is shown. We found no other gauge on the same river that publishes flow.
Gauge height, last 7 days: 169 readings from Oct 29, 10:15 PM CDT to Nov 5, 9:15 PM CST; ranging 1.46 to 1.65 ft; latest 1.5 ft.
USGS provisional data may be revised. Source: USGS instantaneous values.

USGS keeps no flow statistics at this gauge, so there is no normal range for flow; the chart shows gauge height as USGS publishes it.

Where Old River at Hwy 1 nr Natchitoches, LA sits.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. We found no Louisiana agency water-temperature line for trout anglers. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Louisiana rule: 68°F.
Species list not on file for this gauge. Check the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries: Louisiana fishing regulations (official eRegulations edition).
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.
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)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.
The National Weather Service has no flood-stage gauge here, so no official flood category is shown.
Checked Nov 5, 9:52 PM CST; readings refresh at most every 15 minutes and statistics daily. Provisional USGS data can be revised. Conditions change: re-check before you go. This is general guidance, not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access.
