Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

Check the USGS Hoh gauge, which is the closest real-time gauge to the river. There is a gauge on the main stem of the Calawah on the downstream river left side of the Highway 101 bridge (stn. 12043000, 129 sq. mi.) but data are not available real-time and there is no staff gauge. At the river make a visual check at the Hyas Creek bridge at FR 29 mile 8.0.
