Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

If the Meadow is running over 1500 cfs then Glade into Manns is probably running. There is a gauge at the putin on the left bank above the bridge above the Grist Mill. It is painted by a concrete structure about 50 yards upstream of the bridge. About January 2004 heavy rains made some significant riverbed changes to Manns creek. First off, the gauge is different (actually that changed a while back when the park people modified the gauge area). Zero is now more of a true ‘zero’, with 6 inches getting pushy and 12 inches being really high.

Some of the locals run it at ungodly high water!
