Water Flow Report & Conditions
How to Read These Charts
Each chart shows how much water is flowing in the river right now, measured in CFS (cubic feet per second). Think of it as how many basketballs worth of water are rushing past a single point every second. The higher the number, the more water is moving.
The line on the chart shows how flow has changed over the past 7 days. A line trending up means the river is rising; trending down means it’s dropping.
What does CFS mean for your trip?
- Too low:Â the river is shallow and may be too slow for a great rafting experience
- Just right:Â optimal flow for the trip you’ve booked; expect the rapids we advertise
- Very high:Â powerful, fast water; some trips may be modified or rescheduled for safety

PREPARE FOR YOUR TRIP
Everything you need before you hit the river — in one place. Sign your waiver online before you arrive, download packing lists so nothing gets forgotten, check departure directions for your specific trip, and browse river maps to get familiar with the water you’ll be on. The more prepared you are, the more fun you’ll have.
