Its pretty easy to find on a Topo map. Roughly 30 minutes west of Wilmington DE. The gauge is right on Lums rd. from 272 South just off 95, its labled on the map as a gauging station, we check the level first and its a short drive up 272 north, maybe a mile or two from 95 to the put-in. You dont have to go to the gauging station if you dont want because the run doesnt require a shuttle, but its a good indicator of how much water you will have. I believe the covered bridge at the put-in is to the right on 272 parallel to the road when 272 crosses North East creek. The drop is hard to see from the road.
