The East Cowpen Road Bridge Gage is 2 miles downstream of the take-out. Located on the upstream river left side of the bridge. 4' is probably minimum. At 7' it was medium-low.
For years, or should I say decades, the 'Elbow Tree' has been the way to gage if the Conasauga is running. Well, it died, rotted and fell into the river. This is whats left. Now the official gage is the East Cowpen Road Bridge gage. Located 2 miles downstream. 3' is probably minimum for this section of the Conasauga.
