Considerable regulation, at times, caused by Lake Logan (station 03455773).

Gage-height records are generally good. Discharge records are generally good except for estimated discharges, which are fair to poor.  Additional details on the accuracy of the records can be obtained by contacting the USGS South Atlantic Water Science Center at gs-w-nc_nwisweb_data_inquiries@usgs.gov.
