Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

Levels of 200 cfs plus are reportedly class I. Somewhere above that, some large standing waves appear.

Benjamin Swain provides (2008-04-07):
Prime window is said to be 800 cfs to 1200 cfs. Around 1000 cfs it gets borderline Class II. A group ran it at 1600 cfs and said it was fast and there were few eddies. Looked like a bad level to swim at.
