Gauge Description:
The USGS gage is on Turtle Pond Road near US-64 way upstream from this section. 4.0 is a minimum, but it is much more fun at 4.5 or more. I think there is not visual at the gage site, making it accessible only via the internet.
There is a gage painted on the Peeks Creek bridge as well; I would guess that 2" above 0 is a good level. 0 is about 3.7 on the USGS gage.
The Cullasaja has a pretty good watershed and since Highlands (in the headwaters) gets over 80" of rain a year, this run often gets pretty high.
