Brad Roberts shared on 2002-11-11: From Boatertalk: For those who run Mann's Creek, the river-left gauge has changed. They put a bunch of concrete in around the gauge rock, but the gauge still works. We ran it the other day at +8 inches, which seemed to us to be more like +3 inches on the "old" gauge. Some other people ran it around 0 and said that seemed more like -4. I'd say the gauge actually has changed for the better, with 0 being more of an accurate "low" level, and 8 inches (the top mark on the gauge) being more of a realistic top end. Most first-timers run it around -3 or 4, so now I'd say -1 or 0 would be good low levels. Jimmy Blakeney www.prokayaker.tv
