Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

The auto-gage above is on the Dry Fork and should be viewed only as a rough guide. The paddlers' gauge is on the left abutment at the Rte. 33 bridge.

An excellent alternative gauge is the Glady Fork at Evenwood. Minimum is 4.0 Evenwood.
Mark Anderson suggests: 

Glady (ft)  Laurel (in)
 4.25           3 (minimum)
 4.75           8
 5.0           10
 5.3           12
 5.6           14
This info is being used in an AW Virtual Gage, which will likely be more incorporated into this site after a test period.
