Visual from one of many bridge overpasses. (Delk, Terrill Mill, Windy Hill, Windy Ridge, Interstate North, I-285, and Akers Mill)
Rottenwood only runs after heavy rains, and runs off quickly.
Update - Newer Gauge!: USGS now has a gauge just above Akers Mill rapid at the parking lot for the jogging trail. This gauge was added November 2007. Report your runs and we will update info here.
Update - Not so new Gauge:The gauge is on the Interstate North Parkway SE bridge. It is a painted gauge on the downstream side of the center set of pylons. It is best viewed from river right next to the large "Interstate North Parkway 180" sign. In the future when you run Rottenwood, please report the levels and if it was low, medium or high, so we can get a handle on what the gauge means. 9-01-2003N
