There is a USGS stick gauge on Rock Creek. It is located at on the southwest side of a smaller bridge on Joyce Road that crosses the creek near the intersection of Beach Drive and Joyce (Joyce provides access via ramps to Military Road, which has a larger and higher bridge just to the north).
A reading of 2.5 feet on this gauge is a good paddling zero.
I have found Rock Creek to be running numerous times when Difficult Run is up. While I can't offer an exact correlation, I will say Rock Creek is worth looking at whenever the Difficult Run gauge spikes.
