Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

The gauge is on the SR 1309 bridge at the Put-in. 6 inchs below the MIDDLE of zero is the minimum. This is usually running with the North Fork is running, and a 0 on the NF gauge will corelate roughly with -6 on this gauge. At a reading of +3, the third slide becomes one long drop, and the boulder garden begins to bump up and pad out.
