Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

An alternative when Robe Canyon is a little on the high side. Look for levels of 5-6' on the South Fork Stillaguamish gauge as introduction to this run. If you are using it as your Robe backup it can certainly be run higher but note that things do kick up a notch above 6'. Use caution when relying on the South Fork gauge as it does not always correlate well for this run. The Department of Ecology has a realtime station for this creek that provides direct flow information. Flows of 200-300 are scrapy, but do-able, 300-500 are fun medium flows. As levels climb above 500 a couple of the rapids start earning their class 5 ranking, and above 700 some of the holes get pretty retentive.
