BirdTrout

Trout Run, Pennsylvania

1.7 mapped river miles, draining 1 square mile, in the Brandywine Christina basin watershed. A USGS gauge stands in it, but its record is too short for a measured July mean, so what this page knows about its temperature is today's reading and PA DEP's classification of the water itself.

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.
