Gauge Information
Gauge Description:
The USGS gauge is a crude indicator for runnability of this small creek. Better to look for 1-2" of rain within 24 hours at the Glover rain gage and look for a sharp rise in the E Fork Black River. A paddler’s gauge is on the CR 134 low-water bridge at the take-out.
| Crane Pond Cr @ CR 134 bridge (feet) |

| Minimum | 0.8 |
| Optimum | 1.2 - 3.0 |
| Maximum | 3.5 |
It is not recommended to run Crane Pond Creek below the minimum or above the maximum. Low-water runs entail a lot of boat abuse since the creek bed widens significantly after leaving the gorge. High-water runs present definite pinning possibilities since there is a mile-long section of “willow jungles from hell,” a consequence of the creek bed being dewatered by the upstream reservoir.
