Anyone have thoughts on the water levels? I am considering a trip next week that might include some river travel - among the possibles, I am considering ones that might get bony in a typical late-summer dry spell.

Hey Steve,

Water levels were just a little high last weekend on my trip. And with the several bouts of soaking rain recently along the border I’ll venture to guess that the water is about as high as it will get for the near future.

You gotta go!

Interesting - other than 12 months ago, I don't see a way to view historical data - is there one? And/or long-term averages?
