Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

Gage cited is the Hwy.76 gauge, 33 miles downriver from the takeout of this section. As a result, the river may have dropped or risen substantially though the gage reading appears optimal.

The gage at Burrell's Ford provides a better indicator of level. Based on the boater trials a minimum level is around 1.3 on the Burrell's gage. The study was performed at 1.5 and the water level was on the low side of optimum, upper limits are likely around 2.5 ft.

Correlation information is needed to develop better guidelines. If you are visiting Burrell's Ford, please report readings on the staff gage below the bridge (date, time, level) on the SC side using the "Add a Comment" button on the "Comments" tab (for logged-in registered users of this site).
