| Gauge Reading | 12.3 ft at GAULEY RIVER NEAR CRAIGSVILLE, WV |
| Flow | Low Runnable |
The Gauley gauge at Craigsville is a loose indicator of the Cherry level. When we ran it at 12.3 ft on the Craigsville gauge it was zero or a couple inches below in paddling terms. If you haven't laid eyes on the river or the bridge gauge at Fenwick, come with a backup run in mind, because the Cherry can run out before the Gauley gauge drops much. It was still a very fun run; a technical workout. Look forward to doing it with another 8 inches or a foot of water.
