Wood River Flow
As of 2026-08-02, the Wood River is flowing at a combined 358 cfs across 3 USGS streamgauges — 163% of normal for this time of year, versus a seasonal average of 219 cfs.
Total streamflow across the Wood River was last observed at 358 cfs, and is expected to yield approximately 710 acre-ft of water today; about 163% of normal. River levels are high. Average streamflow for this time of year is 219 cfs, with recent peaks last observed on 2023-12-19 when daily discharge volume was observed at 2,886 cfs.
Maximum discharge along the river is currently at the Wood River Near Klamath Agency reporting a streamflow rate of 358 cfs. However, the streamgauge with the highest stage along the river is the Wood River Near Arcadia with a gauge stage of 3.01 ft. This river is monitored from 3 different streamgauging stations along the Wood River, the highest being situated at an altitude of 4,146 ft, the Wood River Near Klamath Agency.

Streamflow elevation profile
Each bubble is one gauge along the river, plotted by current streamflow (x-axis) vs elevation (y-axis), sized by gauge stage. Reading top-to-bottom traces the river from headwaters down to its mouth -- you can see flow accumulate as elevation drops.

Wood River
The Wood River is a 68-mile long river that runs through south-central Oregon. It is a major tributary of the Klamath River, and its headwaters are located in the Fremont-Winema National Forest. The river has played an important role in the history of the region, as it was used by Native American tribes for fishing and transportation. Today, the river is home to several reservoirs and dams, including the Gerber Reservoir, which provides irrigation water for agriculture in the area. The Wood River also supports recreational activities such as fishing and boating, and it is a popular destination for tourists who come to enjoy the scenic beauty of the area.

About the Wood River
How is the Wood River flowing right now?
As of 2026-08-02, the Wood River is flowing at a combined 358 cfs across its USGS streamgauges, about 163% of normal for this date. The live per-gauge breakdown and 24-hour trend are shown above.
Is the Wood River running high or low right now?
Check the percent-of-normal figure on this page: above 100% means the river is running higher than its seasonal average for the date, below 100% means lower. The per-gauge table shows which reaches are highest and lowest.
Where does the data for the Wood River come from?
Streamflow and gauge stage data are sourced from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Information System. The aggregate flow shown at the top of the page is computed by Snoflo as the sum of all monitored gauges along the river.
How is "percent of normal" calculated?
Today's aggregate streamflow is compared to the historical average aggregate streamflow on this calendar day across the river's full record. 100% means right on average; values above 100% indicate above-normal flow (wet year); values below indicate below-normal (dry year or drought).
Why are some gauges showing very different flows?
Gauges along a river measure flow at different points: headwater gauges read what's coming off the snowpack or mountain runoff; downstream gauges integrate everything upstream, including tributary inputs. Wide spreads usually mean a tributary is contributing significantly between gauges.
What's the elevation profile chart showing?
Each bubble is one gauge along the river, plotted by streamflow (x-axis) and elevation (y-axis), sized by gauge stage. Reading top-down traces the river from headwaters to mouth -- you can see flow build as elevation drops.
Can I get alerts when a specific gauge crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app on a per-gauge basis. Open any individual streamgauge from the table above and favorite it to set a discharge threshold.
