Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

Look for 3.75 ft. or more at the Franklin gauge on the South Branch Potomac. This is a rough correlation, so don't rely on it. Also look for at least 6.75 ft @ Cabins (same watershed but includes flow from Seneca Creek) and 3.25 feet or more at Durbin, on the Greenbrier to the west. Further east, another indicator is the Stokesville gauge on the North River with 80 or more CFS.
