Wondering if it's good weekend to visit? Check the weather and the USGS river gauges below.

The linked USGS gauges measure the depth (in feet) and volume (in cubic feet per second -cfs-) of water in the river.  Our suggestions for minimum and maximum readings are intended as guidelines only.   They do not guarantee that the river is runnable and or safe for every paddler. 

Minimum suggested level means that a solo canoe or kayak should be able to navigate without having to walk the shallower sections.

Maximum suggested level means that, if the reading falls above that figure, the river is neither fun nor safe to run.
