Gauge Description:

The gauge is at the Browning road put in. A maximum level of 600 cfs is a conservative guess for the many novice boaters this stream attracts. Above 600 and the push of the water increases the danger of the frequent strainers found along the run. Below 250 and it begins to get very scrappy.

Flow depends on releases from Rocky Fork lake and can change quickly. Special releases can be arranged by paddling clubs if the lake has enough water. Special releases are generally restricted to educational or safety events and can be arraigned through Rocky Fork Park administration.
