Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

Most paddlers go by the gauge at Fayette Station. Everything that references levels on this site will be according to the Fayette Station gauge in feet.

Some still go by the flow, so I have included a link so you can see the level at Thurmond in cfs.

Others like using Chuck Brabec's conversion, so here is a link to look at that chart.
