Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

There is no gauge on Big Creek itself. The flow number listed above is from NF Willow Creek which does have a gauge. NF Willow is a similar sized creek, with adjacent headwaters. It seems like the two creeks have fairly similar flow patterns. Boatable flows tend to be in April and May but can occur in other months as well. See this table of Monthly mean flows; 1997-2006.
