Gauge

Gauge Description:

There is now a realtime gauge for this river. The information below represents the old way of checing levels:
Check it out when Bacon Creek is above 600cfs or so and Newhalem Creek is over 200 cfs . Historically there was a USGS gauge on the Cascade (stn. 12182500, 1908-1978, 172 sq. mi.). The paddler's visual gauge for the Cascade is at the Cascade- Rockport Bridge. The gauge is located immediately downstream of the bridge at the fish intake screens (photo). It is a non- traditional gauging system. However, this is what paddlers have been using for years.

  • 1.5 screens showing-low- bony in spots, but, manageable
  • 0.5 screen showing- medium-great level, a little pushy at the top
  • >6 inches over the screen-high-BIG FUN, very pushy and continuous. It would be a very long swim.

You can try contacting the Marblemount Hatchery (360-873-4241) for the water level as they clean the screens daily.
