Gauge

Gauge Description:

The USGS on-line gauge for this reach is on the Clear Fork of Big Coal River, which is the next drainage west of Paint Creek, and is only an indicator.

The on-site gauge is to check out the low water bridge downstream of Mossy across from the Fairview Church on CR 15. There is enough water to paddle this section when the water starts to flow over this bridge.
