PENNSYLVANIA FLOW REPORT

Last Updated: January 11, 2026

Pennsylvania's streamflows are showing varied trends across the state, with some rivers experiencing high flow events while others are below normal levels. Water enthusiasts and environmental monitors should note that significant rivers such as the Susquehanna, Allegheny, and Delaware are experiencing fluctuations with potential impacts on recreational activities and local ecosystems. The Delaware River at Callicoon, for example, has a current streamflow of 3010 cfs, which is 17.45% below normal, potentially affecting water-dependent activities in the area. In contrast, the Clarion River near Piney is seeing high streamflow levels at 2390 cfs, 261.69% above normal, indicating possible challenges for those engaging in whitewater activities who must now navigate higher and more turbulent waters.

Within Pennsylvania, several locations require attention due to substantial changes in their streamflow levels. Specifically, the Allegheny River at Franklin is recording a flow of 29600 cfs, a considerable figure at 77.44% above normal, making it critical for communities and authorities in the vicinity to stay vigilant for potential flooding. The Brokenstraw Creek at Youngsville has also seen a significant increase, with a current streamflow change of 29.15% over the last 24 hours, marking a new streamflow of 4120 cfs. This indicates a sharp rise that could impact the local watershed. On the lower end, the Penns Creek at Penns Creek has a reduced flow of 150 cfs, standing at 80% below normal, which could lead to flow drought conditions, impacting both the environment and water-based recreation such as fishing. With such variability across the state, residents and visitors should remain informed about local conditions, as they could influence river navigation, habitat health, and flood risks.
