Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

The Hinton gauge is located on the reach on river right 1.5 miles below the confluence of the Greenbrier River. 1.35' = 798 cfs and it has not been that low since 1988. 5.90' = 30,400 cfs. The cfs is based on rating curve #27 for the Hinton gauge.

Hinton gauge stages can also be obtained by calling 304-466-0156. The recorded message is updated every morning before 9:00 AM. Courtesy of the USACE the Bluestone Dam.

There is no real max on this run for advanced boaters; in fact, this run is at its best when extremely high. Just be sure to scout Brooks Falls and Sandstone Falls. Ran it at around 7ft and it was BIG WATER for sure.
