70 rivers nationwide, with live flow conditions for whitewater.
Whitewater rivers live and die by flow. Too little water and a rapid turns into a rock garden, too much and a Class III run becomes a Class V nightmare. The rivers below are tagged for whitewater paddling, rafting, or kayaking, each with a live CFS reading and gauge status so you can see at a glance whether today's flow sits inside the runnable window for that stretch, not just whether the gauge is reporting a number.
