Gauge Description:

The old USGS North Chick gauge has not been working right for years, but a new one has been created and hopefully it will provide more reliable readings.

Rob Maxwell has provided a spreadsheet that correlates the new gauge to the bowater parking area stage gauge that most paddlers use upon reaching the takeout.

From these correlations minimum was calculated to be around 450 cfs, or 1.6 feet on the bowater gauge. A maximum is usually around 3 feet on the bowater gauge, which corresponds to around 1100 cfs on the new online gauge.
