Map of USGS gauge 14207740 and the river around it
Where WILLAMETTE RIVER ABOVE FALLS, AT OREGON CITY, OR 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 ODFW uses are 68°F and 70°F.
Steady over 24 hours (gauge height −0.05 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.
