Gauge Information

Name Range Difficulty Updated Level
BLACK RIVER AT NEILLSVILLE, WI
usgs-05381000 1000 - 3000 cfs I(II) 60d22h22m 230 cfs (rc= -0.8 )
Probably too low for good whitewater. Gauge (749 sq.mi. drainage) is 18 miles downstream of put-in, with a few decent tribs, so will regularly overstate actual flow for this reach.


River Description

(I have not boated this reach. The description is an assumption based on knowledge of other reaches of this river.)

Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

Gauge is 15 miles downstream from put-in. Various intervening tributaries contribute to the flow. Nevertheless, this gauge should provide reasonable indication of runnability.
I have no awareness of optimum boatable levels at present. "Minimum" used here is completely unverified guess.
