Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

This stays up longer than other Catskill creeks, because of the lake above it. The Rondout will need to be 11 feet, but look for it to peak over 12.5 ft before coming down if there hasn’t been any recent precipitation or the lake may not fill before spilling over.

If this is high (>16 ft.), head somewhere else, because of the possibility of flushing into a new strainer or one of the normally portaged rapids. I usually like to hit the Beer Kill a couple of days after a rain when everything else has dropped too low in the area.
