This gauge is not sending water temperature — USGS carries no water-temperature series for it at all.
USGS still answers for it, with the last value it ever sent and nothing to say the sensor has
gone, so nothing on this page is presented as a current reading.
Everything below — the record, the monthly means, the thirty-day chart — is the gauge's own
history and is unaffected.
The record at this gauge
USGS returned no daily values for this gauge over the last 5 years. It may report
instantaneous values only, or may have been discontinued.
The water it stands in
Black River .
We hold no coldwater classification for this river, so the page makes no claim about
one. The gauge is here because it stands close to water that does carry a designation.

Where this comes from
The gauge and its readings — U.S. Geological Survey. Site metadata from our own
gauge records; latest values from the USGS OGC API's latest-continuous
collection; the history from its daily-values collection, five years, cached for a day.
Monthly means, records and the comparison to this date's normal are computed here from
that daily series, not published by USGS. Day counts are printed beside them.
Water temperature and streamflow — USGS instantaneous and daily values.
The number above is live, not the day this page was written.
Coldwater designations —
MDNR's VSEC river typing for
Michigan, WDNR's classified trout streams for
Wisconsin, VDWR's trout stream classes for
Virginia, NCWRC's Public Mountain Trout Waters designations for
North Carolina, MN DNR's Chapter 6264 designated trout stream listing for
Minnesota, PA DEP's Chapter 93 aquatic life uses for
Pennsylvania, Ohio EPA's aquatic life uses under OAC 3745-1 for
Ohio, NYSDEC's 6 NYCRR classification and trout designation for
New York, and WV DEP's Category B-2 trout water designations under 47 CSR 2 for
West Virginia.
Each is that state's own classification, not this
site's judgement, and the page names which one it read.
Public land — PAD-US, joined per region. Private inholdings inside a public unit
are excluded from the green wash on the map.
Fly shops — OpenStreetMap, with hours and phone where the shop publishes them.
Page built 2026-09-24. Readings are USGS provisional data unless USGS has finalised them, and provisional data is subject to revision. Statistics here are computed from the last five years of daily values at this gauge only — they are not USGS-published normals, and the day counts behind each one are printed so you can judge them.
