22	Widespread moderate flooding continues to expand further into the woodlands...pasture and fields near the river...upstream and downstream from the gage on Georgia Highway 286 or Dawnville Road. The bridge forms an obstacle and acts like a dam causing some backwater and erosion eddies to the sides of the bridge. County officials will close the bridge to the public.
20	Moderate flooding begins. Widespread flooding expands further into the woodlands...pasture and fields near the river...upstream and downstream from the gage on Georgia Highway 286 or Dawnville Road. The water reaches the bottom of the bridge which begins to form an obstacle and act like a dam causing some backwater and erosion eddies to the sides of the bridge. County officials may close or restrict access to the bridge.
18	Widespread minor flooding expands further into the woodlands...pasture and fields along the river...upstream and downstream from the gage on Georgia Highway 286 or Dawnville Road. Many locations near the river channel will be under several feet of water.
16	Minor flooding expands further into the woodlands...pasture and fields along the river...upstream and downstream from the gage on Georgia Highway 286 or Dawnville Road.
14	Minor flooding continues to expand into the woodlands...pasture and fields along the river...upstream and downstream from the gage on Georgia Highway 286 or Dawnville Road.
12	Minor flooding of woodlands...pasture and fields begins along the river...upstream and downstream from the gage on Georgia Highway 286 or Dawnville Road.
10	Bankfull and Action Stage is reached along the river upstream and downstream from the gage on Georgia Highway 286 or Dawnville Road.

1360 cfs	Recommended flow level necessary for a "good" paddling run of the 10.8 mi stretch of the Conasauga River from Old Georgia Highway 2 Bridge to US Highway 411.
4731 cfs	Recommended flow level necessary for a "fast and comfortable" paddling run of the 10.8 mi stretch of the Conasauga River from Old Georgia Highway 2 Bridge to US Highway 411. This gauge is 24 miles downstream but can be used as a proxy for this section of the river which is the most visited section of the Conasauga River by boaters, campers and anglers.
800 cfs	Minimum flow level recommended for paddling the 10.8 mi stretch of the Conasauga River from Old Georgia Highway 2 Bridge to US Highway 411. The river will be rocky but passable.
