Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

There is a gauge located on the downstream river right bridge piling at Newton Factory Bridge Road. You can get down it above 0.5. Realistic minimum is 1.0. It gets pretty big above 2.0.

Please add more gauge info in the comments section at the bottom of the page.

The USGS gauge is located about 15 miles upstream. It usually takes the water a day to get from the USGS gauge to Factory Shoals park.
