Readings come from USGS monitoring location 03184500, NEW RIVER AT HINTON, WV, 4.8 miles from the center of New River. It reports discharge, water temperature and gage height. Values refresh every 30 minutes and are provisional until the agency reviews them. Gauge readings describe the river at that point; conditions upstream and downstream will differ.
The gauge is half the picture. The other half is what came out of the water: verified catches, the current record, and the anglers holding it.
