Gauge Reading3.67 ft at DEEP RIVER AT MONCURE, NC
FlowMedium Flow

Flow was more like the lower side of medium flow. The rapids just below the USGS gage were small, mostly class 1. Some attaining and skill practice can be done at this level, but the rapids above the dam are not that interesting. Below the dam, however, no scraping and great flow/waves. Not as exciting of a run as say Lower Haw, but is a somewhat decent short trip for maybe after work or if you were short on time. When water is up, the Deep seems to hold it's level ok.
