Gauge Description:
Willow Creek is gauged in two places, and locals will refer to both. The older gauge mentioned in Fast and Cold is found near the Parks Highway Bridge. This is measured in feet. 7.0' on this gauge is low, 8.0' is medium, and 9.0' is high. A new USGS gauge was installed in 2002, and is found just below the Redgate put-in. It is a more accurate gauge, as it is above a few major tributaries. 200 cfs is about as low as anyone will want to run this stretch, 750cfs is a good fun flow, and 1500cfs is pumping.
