Iowa River Flow Rates & Stream Gauge Data
Live USGS stream gauge data for Iowa — current CFS flow rates, gauge heights, water temperatures, and wading conditions for Iowa rivers and streams. Updated every 15 minutes. Know before you go.
Planning with Iowa river conditions
Browse USGS monitoring stations across Iowa rivers and streams. Each gauge page
shows current readings plus 7, 14, and 30-day flow-rate charts with condition indicators.
Compare the station name and location with your intended reach, then use the recent trend
alongside the current reading. Rain, snowmelt, dams, tributaries, and the distance between
stations can produce different conditions on the same river.
