Gauge Description:

The gage is on the Stonycreek, not Shade Creek, and thus must be used as a guide only.
Basically, by looking upstream from the Seanor bridge (the takeout), you can get a good feel for what much of the run looks like. For the most part, the rapids and ledges just upstream from the Seanor bridge are typical of what you will encounter on the Shade. If you think you can handle them, go for it. If it looks scrapy here, the whole run is scrapy, especially the upper and middle sections. If it looks booming from the bridge, the whole Shade will be a fun level.
