Map of USGS gauge 14211550 and the river around it
Where JOHNSON CREEK AT MILWAUKIE, OR sits, with 7 other gauges on the same river and our water's map point.
Normal for Nov 5: 26–70 ft³/s (middle half of 36 years of record). Now: 16.4 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 16.4 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 36 years of record (1990–2025): 10th 16, 25th 26, median 46, 75th 70, 90th 143 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 13 ft³/s, highest 276 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Steady over 24 hours (−6.8% discharge). 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.
Under ODFW's 68°F line. Water 53.8°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 55.4°F. That is under the 68°F at which ODFW says trout, steelhead and salmon “start to feel stressed”. “Fish early in the morning when water temperatures are cooler and fish are more active.”

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 53.8°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)Turbidity 6.8 FNU at Nov 5, 5:00 PM PST; 7-day range 5.1–61.7 FNU
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.

Below NWS action stage. The National Weather Service reports this gauge below its action stage. That is not a statement that wading is safe.
NWS observed 23.8 ft stage, 16 ft³/s at Nov 5, 4:30 PM PST (NWS gauge MIWO3; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
Graphical forecasts are not available during times of high water, forecast crest information can be found in the local WFO web page.
