The river gauge is on the bridge in Taberg. Call Northern Outfitters, 315-449-1208, for river levels, or check local massage boards like the Northeast Paddlers Massage Board or the FLOW Massage Board.
Minimum: 1.5 feet (class 3)
Medium: 3 feet (class 3+)
High: 4.5 feet (class 4)
There's a new USGS gauge, as of Autumn 2008! We don't have a perfect correlation yet, but it appears that a rough one might be:
Bridge = USGS - 2.0.
So a min on the USGS gauge might be about 4.0 feet.
We'll keep you posted as we get better info.
Update: 3/13/09, as the USGS gauge read 4.8', the bridge gauge was reading "just under 3 feet." That's support for the "Bridge = USGS - 2" equation. But we need more data points.
You can help!
If you get a visual take on the bridge gauge, simply add a comment to this page! Click on the "Comments" tab and then click "Add a Comment" at the bottom of the page. Post your numbers, and we'll use it to firm up the correlation.
Thanks, all. This might have been the most important "wish we had an online gauge" stream in the Northeast--until very recently.
