Gauge
Gauge Description:
There is no gauge on (east) Conewago Cr. The top section of Swatara Creek is of a similar size and both rise and fall quite quickly so that Swatara Creek at Pine Grove is a fair approximation of the level in Conewago. All bets are off for summer thunderstorms with their erratic rainfall patterns. You can use a rainfall map such as the one available through accuweather(selecting accumulated precipitation radar maps and using the dropdown menus to select PA and 24 hr) or rainfall readings at the automated streamflow warning system. If the rainfall in the area has been over an inch Conewago (east) will probably running for the following day. They can also tell you if the rainfall in the upper Swatara drainage basin is similar to that of Conewago. Once at the creek you can look at the ledges just upstream of the Deodate Rd. bridge; if they are passable the creek is runnable. If we've had a decent rainfall but Conewago isn't runnable when you get there, just scoot over to Codorus Creek.Swatara C nr Pine Grove [ PA ] |
