4.6 has been stated as the optiomal level. Pads things out and covers some bad undercuts.
Its been run up to some pretty stupid levels.
The gauge is located at the SR 1620 bridge, near Vanhook Wayside Park and the take-out for the Upper Cullasaja.
There is also a gauge on the RT 1678 (Peeks Creek Road) take-out Bridge. One foot here is close to 4ft on the USGS
