Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

Gauge located at NFS Richland Creek Campground bridge. Can be run a little below 3.0 feet but the shoals in the first 2 miles are very shallow. Starts to get real pushy above 5 feet. Time to check out the tributary creeks!

This gauge measures the flow of both Richland and Falling Water. Isolated rain events may make one runnable when the other is dry.

A painted gauge is located at the put-in bridge, measured in inches of airspace. Here is a the correlation assuming general rain event
