Reading Nov 1, 7:15 AM MST · provisional USGS data
This is the latest value USGS returned and it is more than a day old. It is not today's reading.
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: OAK CREEK NEAR SEDONA, AZ (USGS 09504420, 2.4 miles away).
Gauge height, last 7 days: 59 readings from Oct 29, 9:15 PM MST to Nov 1, 7:15 AM MST; ranging 5.04 to 10.7 ft; latest 10.7 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.
Water temperature, last 7 days: 59 readings from Oct 29, 9:15 PM MST to Nov 1, 7:15 AM MST; ranging 52.3 to 55.2 °F; latest 52.5 °F.

Map of USGS gauge 09504410 and the river around it
Where OAK CREEK BELOW GRASSHOPPER POINT NEAR SEDONA, AZ sits, with 3 other gauges on the same river 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 Arizona Game and Fish uses are 67°F.
Species the agency lists for Oak Creek: Brown Trout, Flathead Catfish, Gila Trout, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, Roundtail Chub.
Source: Commission Order 40 special regulations: catch-and-release only for trout (artificial fly and lure only, barbless hooks; some seasonal) (Arizona Game and Fish Department / Arizona Game and Fish Commission (2025-2026 Arizona Fishing Regulations, official eRegulations edition)).
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)Turbidity 952 FNU at Nov 1, 7:15 AM MST; 7-day range 2.2–952 FNU; more than a day old
Water clarity: Turbidity measures the relative clarity of water: higher means murkier. No agency publishes a fishing threshold for it; compare with this gauge's own recent readings.
Turbidity and Water (U.S. Geological Survey)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, 9:00 PM MST; 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.
