Check large flat rock river right @ the takeout bridge for level.
Kevin Williams shared:
Gauge is up Dinner Bell Road from the put-in about a mile, painted on bridge. 1'![]()
is supposedly min but I found 1.2' to be pretty dang low. 2' is nice.
Robert Farmer added:
Generally, you need at least 7.0 at Rockville on Big Sandy Creek, WV, although the other day it was 7.2 and Fikes was only 0.8 at Dinner Bell Road. Later, when the Sandy came up to 12.0, Fikes was around 3.5 at the time when I came by. It might have been higher earlier.

This is a correlation gauge from the Big Sandy. Use it with caution, and scout for runnability before putting on. |
