Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

Check the USGS Queets gauge. The Clearwater is a major tributary to the Queets. Historically there was a gauge on the Clearwater (stn. 12040000, 1931-1949, 140 sq. mi.) but it's difficult to correlate these data to current flows or a develop a relationship with Queets flows because of major logging that has recently occured in the basin.
