Gauge Description:
*The cited gauge is for Big Raccoon Creek which should provide some indication of runnability. The 'minimum' is purely conjecture, and correspondence of gauge readings is not assured.
This is a small watershed, and boaters will need to be ready to move within hours of significant rains to catch it at runnable levels. The 'window of opportunity' will be fairly narrow. Gauge Information

(threatened to call sherriff, called us thieves and criminals..etc) Decided not to wait around for
the sherriff just to get in a short run, and relocated. FYI the level was OK (looked ok from the
bridge) Gauge read ~600cfs assume it has access issues unless you really want to press the matter,
or happen to have a copy of the relevant laws handy
