What is the water temperature on Colorado River?
This USGS gauge is not currently reporting water temperature for Colorado River, so this page does not show a live water-temperature reading.
Current flow data is not published on this gauge page right now.
USGS 09093700 is a public stream gauge on Colorado River in Colorado. Waderly uses this page as the canonical landing page for flow, water level, and fishing-condition checks on this water. There are 2 same-waterway gauges nearby for upstream and downstream comparison.
Across 31 years of USGS daily records, Colorado River here runs highest in June (typically about 11,690 cfs) and lowest in January (about 1,590 cfs). That is a snowmelt pattern: flows build through spring, crest in early summer as high-country snow melts, and the peak month carries about 7 times the flow of the low month.

| January | 1,590 cfs |
| February | 1,610 cfs |
| March | 1,810 cfs |
| April | 2,610 cfs |
| May | 7,190 cfs |

Typical flow is the average of the USGS daily median for each day of the month at this gauge.
The highest flow USGS has recorded at this gauge is 38,200 cfs, on May 26, 1984. The water stood 14.83 ft on the gauge that day. Annual peak records here run from 1967 to 1997.
USGS runs 27 gauges on Colorado River, listed here from upstream to downstream. This gauge measures runoff from 7,370 square miles of watershed.
Waderly combines real-time USGS stream gauges with weather, barometric pressure trends, and solunar activity so you know what the water is doing before you go. The "typical" comparison above is an approximation based on the historical daily median flow for this date at this gauge.

Other gauges on Colorado River worth checking include COLORADO RIVER NEAR CAMEO, CO. (10.5 miles away), COLORADO RIVER AT RULISON, CO. (14.6 miles away). Same-waterway gauges are usually the best upstream and downstream cross-check when you are deciding whether conditions are improving or dropping out.
