Gauge

Gauge Description:

The Black has releases all through the summer, for rafting trips. Kayakers can surf off those releases for a run down the river.

The scheduled releases occur roughly halfway down the run, in the vicinity of Glen Park Falls. Therefore, one can put in about an hour before the beginning of the scheduled release. Don't hang out and play too long, or else you'll run out of water below Glen Park Falls.

There is usually a special release on the Friday of Moose Festival weekend, from 11 AM-1 PM.
