Gauge

Gauge Description:

This gauge is located just downstream of the Canyon and is quite accurate. However, Lusk Creek is very flashy and will not stick at any one level for very long. It has been known to go from 50 CFS to 5000 (in the canyon, that easily translates to a 20 ft jump in stage level) in less than 2 hours. If heavy rain is predicted while you are on the run, expect it to flash flood.
