Gauge Description:

This creek takes a lot of water to run and usually only runs on flash floods.

If the Catoctin gauge is over 500 cfs and rising, you have a good chance of catching this creek. It drops extremely fast so be quick.

There is a painted gauge at the Rt. 77 bridge by the ranger station (where the action starts). This should read 1 foot for a minimum. 1.5' is a very nice level. Above that and it is going to be a wild ride!
