Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

Paddlers' gage located on the river-left abutment at the Rocky Brook putin. The abutment has three small (4" diameter) pipes just above the riverbed. A level even with the bottom of these pipes is minimum; a level even with the top of these pipes indicates a medium level.
Use the Baker gage (linked above) with care; it is downstream of the confluence of the Upper Baker.

Tom Currier shared:
I ran a few of the drops at 2.2 and they seemed to have plenty of water. I didn't scout the entire river but I think it can be run at this level if you aren't looking for a big water feel.
