Description
The gage is hidden under the trees just below the Rogers Street Bridge. Hidden under the trees on river-right just below the Rogers Street Bridge is the USGS gage. The area is fenced off, you'll have to hop the fence next to the bridge to access the outside staff or to scout the rapids below. Be aware the area is loaded with poisen ivy.
The gage is totally invisible from the river during the months when leaves are on the trees. You can paddle right by it without knowing it is there.
