Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

At the 600 cfs release level it is a somewhat pushy class II, though class III comfort level is recommended due to the continous nature of the whitewater. The gauge listed shows flow upstream of this section. If there is not sufficient inflow, releases will not take place.
