Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

Gauge Description:
The scale located 1 Mile downstream. The dam release is controlled by Bartlett's Ferry Dam upstream. The schedule can be obtained by calling 706-317-6000. This number's information is so vague that usefulness is questionable. It usually says something to the effect of water being released from 9-5 with subject to change depending on power needs. I recommend getting there about 4:30 in afternoon with about a 2 hour window of good release.
