Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

Best boatable flows for this reach are unknown, though I would expect (due to lack of large falls or significant gradient) it is floatable most of the year.

"Minimum" listed here is just a wild guess to get 'color-coding' for this reach.
If you have any information on good boatable levels, please use the "Add a Comment" button which should appear below for all registered, logged-in users of this site.

The cited gauge is at the take-out for this reach, thus provides very accurate info about the flow at that point.
