Gauge

Gauge Description:

Note: The gauge refered to in this section is a virtual "regional" gauge. It is in a nearby watershed but the proximity of the gauge and the river characteristics are similar. These gauges work best in the spring or wide area rain events. Do not rely on this gauge for localized rain events such as summertime thunderstorm activity. Current minimum run level for this stretch is still to be verified. The visual Gage is located on the river-right abutment footing on the upstream side of the putin bridge. 2" below the footing is minimum; 7" above the footing is a high level.
Check the Bearcamp Gage for an indication of water levels in the area.
