Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

The Webster Springs gauge is located 29 river miles downstream of the put-in. There is a major tributary(Back Fork)that flows into the Elk between this gauge and the put-in. Thus this gauge can only be used as an indicator.
<br>
There is a visual gauge painted on a bridge pier on CR 15/4 at Cherry Falls. At recommended paddling levels it will read 4.0' lower than the Webster Springs gauge.
