Clove Brook is a trib of Papakating Creek. Despite the fact that I always think of the duck pond in front of the High Point State Park Ranger Station as its source, Clove Brook gathers most of its water from a swampy area on the Kittatinny ridge just south of the NY border. Because of this it actually runs more than you would think, sometimes staying up for a week after a good rain in the early spring.

      I haven't found a reliable online gauge for this run. To check onsite whether there is enough water, check the upstream, river-right, bridge pier on the bridge next to Dewitt Rd (see map below). If the water is within 3" of the top of the concrete footing of the bridge pier then it's runnable. To determine whether it's worth driving up to check it, check for excess water in the surrounding drainages (which have online gauges). Some of these include the Flatbrook at Flatbrookville, Papakating at Pelletown,Neversink at Bridgeville, and Bushkill at Shoemakers.
