Gauge Information
Gauge Description:
The Craigsville gauge can be used as a general reference. This gauge is on the Gauley, just below the confluence of the Cherry and Gauley. The Cranberry and Williams join the Gauley further upstream, so the gauge is actually measuring what is coming from the Gauley headwaters plus the Williams, Cranberry and Cherry.The Paddlers gauge on the old bridge abutment at Fenwick gives a more accurate reading. Recommended levels based on the paddlers gauge are 5" to 6'.
The Craigsville gauge conversion table for feet-to-cfs is approximately:
11 feet = 510 cfs
12 feet = 1460 cfs
13 feet = 3200 cfs
14 feet = 5550 cfs
15 feet = 8500 cfs
