Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

Patrick Martin shared:

The minimum water level one can run on Clear Creek from Barnett-to-Jett without scraping plastic off your boat is ~ 5.75’ on the USGS gauge for Lilly, or 2’ on the paddlers gauge on Jett Bridge. At this level, there are a number of class I-II rapids, long flatwater paddles, and many technical moves suited for tweaking the whitewater techniques of the newer paddlers. There are dangers here (a few directional must-make moves, whirlpools, and undercuts that can ruin your day) so invite a guide on this run for your first few descents.
