Gauge

Gauge Description:

The best gauge is on-site visual using a boater's gauge on the upstream face of the center pier of the first bridge south of I-80.
0.5' - minimum
1.5'-2.5' - optimum
4.0' - high

*The USGS gauge listed (for Big Bureau Creek) may be used as a guide for possible runnability, since it may catch some of the same storm paths.

By the way, flow in the Little V is not likely to correlate very well with the (main) Vermilion, which has a watershed well to the east and south. Big Bureau should provide a better indicator.

Listed 'minimum' on Bureau Creek gauge is likely to indicate runnable levels. The listed 'maximum' is likely to indicate levels 'above the norm'. While the Little V is runnable to higher levels, the 'canyon' will become quite 'meaty'.
