There is a painted gauge on the downstream side of the bridge at the put-in. After scraping down it at 4" I would say that 6" is probally a better minimum. Another good indicator is that if Johnnies Creek is over 0" and still rising fast, Chinquapin may be going.
The creek is much more narrow at the put in bridge than some other places on the creek. At lower levels this results in the water being great in some rapids and very low in others. If it looks fast and juice'n at the put-it, the rest of the run should be good to go. If the put-in looks scrapy, don't bother.
