River Ready USA

River Ready puts real-time river conditions in your pocket. Flow, clarity, water temperature, and weather for 10,000+ USGS river gauges across all 50 states and Washington, D.C. — before you make the drive.

A river doesn't post its own conditions, and neither does the sky. Rain upstream can turn a clear run to mud in an afternoon. Snowmelt spikes the flow. A cold front drops the water and shuts the hatch off. River Ready makes checking the water one tap — on any gauge, anywhere.

EVERYTHING THE RIVER CAN TELL YOU • Flow — gauge height and discharge in feet and ft³/s, with trends. Is it wadable, or blown out? • Clarity — turbidity read as clear to muddy. The honest answer to "can I see my feet?" • Water temperature — with the trend, so you know when the fish move and the hatch is on • Weather — current conditions, an hour-by-hour forecast, and a 5-day outlook for every gauge

THREE TAPS TO THE WATER

1. Open the map — every USGS gauge in the country, or search by river and place name
2. Tap a gauge — flow, clarity, temperature, and weather for that exact stretch
3. Read the water — trends in the gauge's own timezone, in feet and ft³/s

Built for anglers, paddlers, and anyone who plays on moving water. Know the river before you make the drive.
