Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

This is the Webster Springs gauge on the main stem of the Elk River.

Since the Birch River joins the Elk River below this gauge it can only be used as an indicator.

An informal gauge is found on the pier of the Herold Bridge. Ideal conditions will show 5 blocks of stone. Current conditions are showing all 6 stone blocks. April 18, 2001
