The River Dart

Paddlers often judge the lever of the Dart based on 'The Ledge' on river left above Newbridge

The red gauge indicates levels in relation to the 'ledge' at Newbridge.
Top Line - level is high; water up to the steps.
Middle Line - river flowing through third arch.
Bottom Line - river about level with the Slab.

Low water - water is well below the ledge.
Medium water - water is lapping at the top of the ledge.
High levels - water flowing through the third arch of the bridge.
Spate - When the steps leading up the bank are underwater expect spate to super-spate conditions.
