Map of USGS gauge 402114105350101 and the river around it
Where BIG THOMPSON BL MORAINE PARK NR ESTES PARK, CO sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river and our water's map point.
Under CPW's 71°F line. Water 41.7°F now; the highest in the last 24 hours was 42.4°F. That is under the 71°F CPW uses for its closure criteria. “CPW recommends fishing early in the day to avoid peak afternoon temperatures.” “Anglers should use a handheld thermometer to test water conditions and move to cooler, higher-elevation waters once temperatures approach 71 degrees.”
Normal for Nov 5: 8.6–12 ft³/s (middle half of 27 years of record). Now: 6.68 ft³/s, lowest for this date on record.
Lowest for this date on record for this date. 6.68 ft³/s is below the lowest daily mean recorded on this date of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 27 years of record (1996–2026): 10th 7.1, 25th 8.6, median 9.5, 75th 12, 90th 20 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 6.79 ft³/s, highest 26 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 (−9.5% 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.
This gauge is on our page for Big Thompson River, but no agency page we read lists its species.
Cold water. Water 41.7°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)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, 5:43 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.
