Gauge Information

Name Range Difficulty Updated Level
PESHTIGO RIVER NEAR WABENO, WI
usgs-04067958 4.50 - 5.50 ft I-II 00h36m ~ 4.37 ft (rc= -0.1 )
Probably too low. Referenced gauge is on Peshtigo River, which should be running moderate-to-high to find good flows in Thunder River.


River Description

Three falls in a county park (plus one more a half-mile downstream) can provide some park-and-play entertainment. At high flows, the second falls will become very 'keepy'.

Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

Correlation to the listed gauge (Peshtigo) is not assured, but should provide a fair indicator of levels for this reach.

The best method will be visual inspection. If the falls look like runnable fun, go for it!
