this stream was hit hard by the 2016 flood. The river bed is somewhat 'scoured'. Trees were bent over and snapped along both shores for most of the eight miles. A better gauge to use is the USGS Herold gauge located on the BirchRriver (but not currently linked to AW) . Buffalo creek typically runs if the Birch River is at least 5 feet at Herold.
the culvert dam has gotten easier and more open since the flood, stay left of center and you'll see multiple lines to run
