Hocking River at Logan — common questions
3 questions
Does rain upstream change Hocking River at Logan quickly?
Yes. It is free-flowing, so rain upstream moves it directly. Several feet in a few hours is normal after a heavy storm.
Is Hocking River at Logan high or low for this time of year?
The USGS median flow for late September here is 70 CFS, from 94 years of record (1932–2026). Today sits in the highest 5% of those years. The comparison is what makes the raw number mean anything: the same reading is a drought on one river and a flood on another.
How often does this reading update?
USGS transmits from gauge 03157500 every 15 to 60 minutes, and the National Weather Service reissues the flood forecast for ENTO1 a few times a day — more often when the river is rising. This page refreshes from both when you open it. The timestamp is in the gauge's local time.
