2 USGS Streamgages · Columbia River system

Entiat River flows and levels

Entiat River is gauged at 2 USGS streamgages in Washington, each tracked by Rivermatics. The mainstem runs about 56 miles (89 km) from headwaters to outlet. It drains into the Columbia River system. Drainage area at the gauges ranges from 203 square miles at Entiat River near Ardenvoir, WA up to 419 at Entiat River near Entiat, WA. The gauged reach falls about 828 feet, from 1,566 feet down to 738. Rivermatics issues a daily machine-learned 14-day flow outlook for every one of them.

Gauges on this river, upstream to downstream

Ordered by drainage area, which is how far down the river each gauge sits. April and July figures are long-term median daily flows for that month from the USGS record — historical normals, not a forecast and not today's reading.

Common questions

When does the Entiat River run highest?
June, on the long-term record at Entiat River near Entiat, WA — the furthest-downstream gauge Rivermatics tracks on this river. Median daily flow there is about 1,405.5 cfs that month, against 114.7 cfs in September, the lowest. Upstream gauges peak on their own schedule; the table on this page gives April and July for each.
How many gauges are on the Entiat River?
Rivermatics tracks 2 USGS streamgages on the Entiat River, across Washington. Each has its own page with the site's full flow record and monthly normals. The river may carry other gauges that publish neither daily values nor discharge statistics; those are not tracked here.
Is there a flow forecast for the Entiat River?
Yes, at 2 of the 2 gauges. Rivermatics trains a machine-learned model — a temporal-fusion transformer — on each basin's observed flows, weather and snowpack, and issues a daily outlook reaching 14 days ahead: a median estimate inside a confidence band, not a single number to bet on. Every forecast is scored against days the model never trained on, and that track record is published on each gauge's live screen.
What river system is the Entiat River part of?
The Entiat River drains into the Columbia River system — it is a tributary somewhere in that chain, following the flowpath down to its terminal river. Rivermatics builds this from the USGS/geoconnex reference-mainstem network rather than from names.
Can I use Entiat River data for flood or safety decisions?
No. Rivermatics provides estimates, not guarantees, and the readings and forecasts here may be delayed, inaccurate, or wrong. Do not use them for navigation or for any safety, rescue, or emergency decision. Check the National Weather Service and USGS directly, and use your own judgment.
