Gauge Information
Gauge Description:
Dreamflows' gauge for the Kaweah River at Three Rivers, CA. which is below the confluence of the EF Kaweah and MF Kaweah.
Common wisdom is that flows of 400-700 at Three Rivers produce boatable flows in the East Fork in the late spring, where as in the winter flows should be 900-1100. In channel flows should be 100-300cfs for this to be a safe and enjoyable run, 230-250 is perhaps optimal. Visually a good flow will look barely boatable at the gateway bridge. There are no wide spread markers in the channel used to directly gauge flows.
An SCE/USGS gauge showed flows at the putin until recently, but appears discontinued for reasons unknown. It would be interesting to investigate if there is an easily accessible stick gauge at this site which is just upstream of the putin.
