Hyner Run, Pennsylvania
2.5 mapped river miles, draining 29 square miles, in the Middle West Branch Susquehanna basin watershed. No gauge stands in it; the nearest is 4.0 miles away, and what this page knows about its temperature is PA DEP's classification of the water itself.
50°F and colder is cold, through cold-transitional and cool, to warm above 70°F — the same four bands, breaking at 58, 64 and 70°F, that the app paints. Grey is water nobody has measured.
The nearest live reading
The nearest gauge is 13.2 miles away, at Kettle Creek At Cross Fork, Pa — not a reading of this water, but of what the region is doing today. A closer gauge has stopped reporting — its water-temperature series is empty, and was last stamped 25 June 2025, so no number here comes from it.
Thermal classification
PA DEP's classification of this water, reach by reach. A class, not a temperature — no July mean, because none was measured here.
| Reach | Typed miles | Band | PA DEP type |
|---|---|---|---|
| RM 2.5–0.0 | 6.2 | cold | — |
PA DEP has classified 6.2 of the 7.1 miles NHD carries for this stream — 87% of it. Every typed reach carries the same class, cold. The untyped reaches are not warm water — they are water PA DEP's inventory does not reach, and the mile ranges above span only the reaches it does.

Tributaries and watershed
Hyner Run sits in HUC 8 02050203, the Middle West Branch Susquehanna basin, and drains 29 square miles, Strahler order 4 at the mouth. 8 NHD reaches carry the name for 7.1 miles in total — more than the 2.5 miles of drawn mainstem, because NHD counts side channels and braids as their own reaches.
