BLACK RIVER NEAR BESSEMER, MI
usgs-04031000 3.00 - 7.00 ft IV-V 02h07m ~ 2.9 ft (too low)
gauge class Most likely too low, but possibly E.L.F. (extreme low flow) run. Help your fellow boaters! We need input to fine-tune boatable levels. Add a comment or report!
Based on relative drainages, flow here may be ~1.8 times the reference gauge (Black River)! Actual flows must be confirmed by on-site inspection.
