Nf Coeur D Alene River flows and levels

Nf Coeur D Alene River is gauged at 2 USGS streamgages in Idaho, each tracked by Rivermatics. It feeds the Coeur d'Alene River. It drains into the Columbia River system. Drainage area at the gauges ranges from 335 square miles at NF Coeur D Alene River Ab Shoshone Creek near Prichard, ID up to 895 at NF Coeur D Alene River at Enaville, ID. The gauged reach falls about 397 feet, from 2,568 feet down to 2,171. 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 Nf Coeur D Alene River run highest?
April, on the long-term record at NF Coeur D Alene River at Enaville, ID — the furthest-downstream gauge Rivermatics tracks on this river. Median daily flow there is about 4,566.3 cfs that month, against 263.9 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 Nf Coeur D Alene River?
Rivermatics tracks 2 USGS streamgages on the Nf Coeur D Alene River, across Idaho. 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 Nf Coeur D Alene 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 Nf Coeur D Alene River part of?
The Nf Coeur D Alene 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 Nf Coeur D Alene 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.
