Description

This is the usual put-in for a run on 'Section 4' of the Wolf. While the name sounds like it should be a rapids, there is none here. The put-in lies in the middle of a long stretch of flat water, so any 'otter slide' is merely from the shore of the river into the water.

Drainage area at our listed put-in is approximately 501 sq.mi. (as calculated via USGS StreamStats Beta software).

That suggests flow here *could* be 1.082 * gauge reading (generally not a significant enough difference to merit a separate 'virtual gauge').
