Lockatong Creek
River DescriptionThis creek is often run after a heavy rain.Stephen Strange contributes: Lockatong Cr. has the exact same geology as the Tohickon across the river in Pa. but instead of getting rid of its gradient evenly, it occasionally dumps a bit of it all at once. There is a 12' waterfall and at least two other ledges that are 5-6'. If there is a day or two of hard rain in the late fall to spring, this and Wickecheoke will come up and can be easily done together in a day. StreamTeam Status: verified

The Online gauge is the Lockatong at Raven Rock,
Minimum to paddle all of the drops is 3.8-3.9'
Optimum range is 4.5-5.5'
Above 5.5' it gets very "exciting"
"The onsite gauge is at the Raven Rock Rd. takeout, on the river right abutment of the bridge.
"bare minimum water to paddle all of the drops is about 7', but the minimum fun level is about 7.5' and optimum is above 8'. I would imagine it would get pretty hairy at around 10'."
You can get an idea of the recent rainfall by checking the AFWS. The Stockton gage, #6453, is probably the closest to the watershed.
