Gauge Description:

There is a painted (RC) gauge on the Rt. 56 bridge at Nash. Nash is the confluence of the North and South Forks of the Tye. Hurricane Isabel and then the high water in December, 2005 have changed the gauge. The gauge reads about a foot higher now (i.e., The "new" 3'2" is more like the "old" 2'2"). The gauge will change continually as the cobbles wash out. Knowing rainfall at Montebello is your best bet. The USGS gauge at Lovingston is helpful too:
