Gauge

Gauge Description:

The Webster Springs gauge is many miles upstream and above the Sutton Reservoir. Thus this gauge can only be used as a rough indicator of paddling conditions.
Best advice is if you hang up on the small rapid immediately below the put-in it is to low to paddle. If you scrape it will be a low water run. If no scraping a paddler will have plenty of water
