USGS gauge — live water temperature

Water temperature — the colour of the river, and of every dot on it

58 64 70

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 10.3 miles away, at Neshaminy Creek Near Langhorne, Pa — not a reading of this water, but of what the region is doing today.

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.

The management tier on those reaches is Trout Stocking, Warm Water Fishes. This is a designation of the fishery, not the season and creel rules — those change yearly and live with the agency.
