Saturday, August 15, 2026River Update
We’re planning to be back on the river tomorrow! River levels are still higher than normal, so we’ll be starting the day with some restrictions in place.
The safety of our guests and staff is always our top priority, and these restrictions allow us to get back on the river while making sure conditions are appropriate for each type of watercraft and paddler.
At a minimum, Trip A will be available for:
• Single kayaks for experienced paddlers age 16+
• Rafts, which are a great choice for families with children, inexperienced paddlers, and anyone looking for a little more stability
As river levels continue to drop:
• At 900 CFS - we’ll begin allowing canoes for guests age 13+
• At 800 CFS -we’ll return to normal Trip A operations
• At 650 CFS -Trip B will reopen
The river has been steadily dropping, so we’re hopeful we’ll be able to offer more options as the day goes on.
You can keep an eye on the current CFS by clicking River Conditions on our Trip A page:

We’ll continue monitoring conditions closely and making adjustments as the river allows. We’re looking forward to getting everyone back out there!
