Trip Report

ReporterJeff Macklin

Most paddlers in the area use these 2 rocks as a visual water gauge. This is what you will see when standing on the takeout bridge looking up river.

Gauge reference:
Minimum = water flowing over some of 'gauge rock' (very scrapy),,
Low = water flowing over most/all of 'gauge rock',,
Medium to High = when the water level is getting near the top of 'baseball rock' (starts getting pushy),,
High = when baseball rock is covered or there is no sign of it,,,, hold on for a rip roaring flush.
