Common questions
Wolf River level questions
Where are the Wolf River gauges?
USGS runs 4 gauges used on this page: Wolf River at Lagrange; Wolf River at Rossville; Wolf River at Germantown; Wolf River at Hollywood Street at Memphis.
What does cfs mean on the Wolf River?
Cubic feet per second: the volume of water passing the gauge each second. It is the best single number for how big the river is running. Gauge height is the water surface against a fixed point at that gauge and only compares with readings from the same gauge.
How often do the Wolf River readings update?
USGS gauges record every 15 minutes and usually report within an hour. This page checks USGS each time it opens and shows the time of the latest reading.
River readings come from the U.S. Geological Survey and are provisional, as USGS publishes them. Forecasts come from the National Weather Service. Sunrise, sunset and moon phase are calculated for the location. Tennessee Fishing Spots is not affiliated with USGS or NWS.
