Gauge

Gauge Description:

Knightville dam is just upstream from the put in. Normal spring recreational release from the dam is 1000 cfs.

The flow is augmented with the confluence of the Middle Branch of the Westfield River about half way through this segment. Littleville dam on this branch usually releases an additional 300 cfs.

At 1000-1500 cfs, this gets pretty nice. The minimum corresponds to about 4.5 ft.
