USGS gauge data for hundreds of rivers across the US and Canada — updated in real time for anglers, rafters, kayakers, and anyone heading to the water.
Open Rivers Dashboard ↗What Rivers DB Will Include
Rivers DB pulls live data from USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) gauges to give you the full picture on any waterway across the US and Canada.
Current CFS readings at every active USGS gauge across the US and Canada, updated every 15 minutes.
7-day and 30-day flow hydrographs so you can see whether the river is rising, falling, or stable.
Optimal flow ranges for popular fishing rivers — know before you drive whether the water is fishable.
Flow context for whitewater runs — low, medium, high, and flood stage classifications per gauge.
Compare today's flow against the historical record for the same date to understand seasonal context.
Where available, water temperature readings to assess fish activity and cold-water safety.
