Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

This is based on the Hwy 76 gage located 33 miles downriver from the put in of this section. The significance of this is that the river may have dropped or risen substantially though the gage reading appears optimal.

The gauge at Burrells Ford bridge is a better indicator of water level.  Minimum levels are 1.3 ft and upper limits are likely around 2.5 ft.

Correlation information is needed to develop better guidelines. If you are visiting Burl's Ford, please report readings on the staff gage below the bridge (date, time, level) on the SC side using the "Add a Comment" button at the bottom of this page.
