Gauge

Gauge Description:

The best way to tell if the NF is runnable is a visual check of the water level as you drive along Hwy. 39/55.

The Gauley's Craigsville gauge can be used as an indicator of whether or not there might be enough water. Note that this gauge also includes flows coming from several other streams.

The Craigsville gauge conversion table for feet-to-cfs is approximately:
11 feet = 510 cfs
12 feet = 1460 cfs
13 feet = 3200 cfs
14 feet = 5550 cfs
15 feet = 8500 cfs
