Gauge Description:

The new USGS gauge W Rosebud Cr at Emerald Lk Campground now reports flows for the reach of interest to paddlers. Acceptable flows are estimates, which will be refined as more runs are logged.



Paddlers gauge is on the bridge at Pine Grove Campground. Until AW is able to complete a Controlled Flow Whitewater Study to conclusively relate reported conditions to specific cfs levels on these runs, it is most accurate to check the bridge gauge. A new gauge has been added by the Mystic Lake Dam operators to facilitate the flow study.



The Upper run is boatable at 1.7' or higher on the gauge. Levels of 2.0' to 2.3' provide very enjoyable class III to Class IV+ rapids. Contrary to many reports, however, this run contains definite Class V sections above 2.5' on the gauge. Generally, the Lower run can be done at any of these levels, although both "Thorpe" and "Terminal Moraine" will be portaged at levels much above 2.0'
