Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

There is a gauge painted on the downstream river right bridge piling at the put-in. Minus three is an absolute minimum, but it has been scrapped down as low as minus 6 (not recommended).

Three inches to one foot are good levels. At three inches the run is mostly class 3 with three class 4 rapids, and one portage.

One foot is about optimal. The run is solid class 4 at one foot.

Above a foot the runs starts to grow some big holes. Riverwide sloping ledge holes.

The Chauga is not really recommended above two feet on the gauge.

For the Chauga to be running look for the Chattooga to be two feet and going up.
