Gauge

Gauge Description:

The USGS gauge is a crude indicator for runnability of this creek due to its small watershed. Better to look for 2" of rain within 24 hours at the Mill Creek rain gage and look for a sharp rise in the E Fork Black River. A paddler’s gauge is on the Hwy E bridge at the take-out. The gauge is new (1/8/2005) so the minimum level is uncertain ... maybe 2.4 ft.
