Gauge Description:

Big Creek does not have a gauge yet but I do plan on making one at the Lynchburg Road bridge.
For now, you can tell what it's doing by looking at the Dan River at Francisco gauge; Big Creek enters the Dan right below Lynchburg Road. I've run it between 2 and 3.5 ft., but I know others who have run from 1.5-4.0 and the higher it is the more fun it is.

It takes a lot of rain to get it up and it usually runs off fairly quick so for instance, if the Dan has been running around 2 ft. for a few days then Big Creek may not be runnable.
