Kentucky · 14 gauges · Kentucky river levels

The Kentucky River is tracked by 14 USGS streamgauges in Kentucky. This page compares each gauge’s live water level against its official National Weather Service flood stage, refreshed every 15 minutes, so you can tell whether the Kentucky River is running normal, rising toward flood stage, or already flooding. Right now, every gauge on the Kentucky River is below flood stage. Gauges without a published flood stage show water level and flow only. For nearby rivers, see all Kentucky river levels.
