Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

The gauge for this river is several miles downstream, in Morgantown. Localized rains can bring up tributaries in between, and make the flows in the Pioneer Rocks section lower than you expect.

250 cfs is a flexible minimum, the further upstream the rain falls, the lower you can get on the river. The high runnable flows are just that: high and pushy. Take additional water very seriously, and if you have any doubt wait til later or go check the Cascades, or even Bull Run.

250 - 450 cfs barely runnable-high runnable V This is the best flow range for a typical run.
450 - 650 cfs a bit pushy runnable-high runnable V Much pushier at these flows, not recommended for a first timer. The holes are captivating, the sieves aren't really filled in, and everything moves way faster.
