No watercraft will be rented when the river is in the red zone. 5.1 feet and above we will not rent any watercraft, no exceptions.

Paddling Conditions:

NO TRIPS TODAY! We needed the rain, but not 4+ inches all at one time. The river is currently above our rental limit, but receding nicely. We expect the river to continue to drop over the next several days, but it does look like we will not be running any trips on Friday and possibly Saturday as well. It is still to early to predict what the river level will be on Sunday. Check back here for more details. We will update this page daily. On the bright side, we should have awesome river level for many, many weeks to come! Get those reservations in quick.

Our online store is open, and we are shipping orders or making items available for in-store pickup.

NOTE: Be advised that river conditions can change rapidly with sudden storms or heavy rain in the upper watershed. Also, water temperature can vary as much as six degrees or more in a single day.
