Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

The USGS gauge is located near the confluence of the Meadow and Gauley (a few miles below the Route 19 bridge that marks the end of the Middle Meadow.

The suggested minimum flow for the Middle Meadow is 500 cfs, although it has been run at lower flows. As the level flow rises, so does the difficulty. The maximum suggested level is 2,000 cfs.

The headwaters of the Meadow River are south of Rainelle. When that area gets rain, it often is not reflected in the USGS gauge at Mt. Lookout until the next day (about 24 hours later). You can find the rainfall amount for the past 24 hours at www.afws.net/data/wv/Greenbrier.htm. Look at the data for the rain gauge Meadow Bluff.
