Gauge Description:

Although the Craigsville gauge can be used as an approximation, the best indicators are the paddlers gauge on the Cherry across from the Fenwick Post Office (it should be at least 2.5 feet) and the paddlers gauge at the putin (it should be at least 3 feet).

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

At levels around 2.75-3.25 feet on the gauge at the putin this is a class III run. At 4.25 feet it is a class IV/V run.
