Gauge Description:

Visual, takes a good thunderstorm to get it going in the summer. A 1/2" to 2" rain in the winter depending on existing base flow. Suck runs often a day or two after most everything else in the area has dropped out.

Minimum Recommended Flow on the gauge is 3.6'
Maximum is likely around 6.5'
4' is the minimum recommended level for the section below Knucklehead.
If you can scrape down the rapids you can paddle the run but the pin potential increases. Before the gauge was installed the typical way to check the level is to proceed to the next pull out above the rapid known as knuckle head. If there is enough water to paddle over the slab without landing on rocks the section is runnable.

A gauge is located just above Knuckle Head. Head down the trail to the top of knuckle head, make your way around a large boulder and the gauge is on the back of a boulder on river right.
