RiverMeramec RiverRatingObservedEstimated
Updated2025-06-15 15:30 (56 minutes ago)Flood - The river is flooding. Obstacles can be treacherous or deadly. The river should be avoided at this stage for casual trips and definitely for the inexperienced. Trips should be attempted only with protective gear and equipment.Flood(none)4323
Discharge3280 cfs (median: 802 cfs)High - The river is high and potentially dangerous, especially for the young and / or inexperienced. Normal stream obstacles are sometimes difficult to navigate. Extended distances can be attempted, but canoe travel may not be advisable.High(none)1267
Height6.46 feetGood - Conditions are ideal for a canoe or kayak. Boats typically will drag on fewer than one-quarter of riffles, if at all, and portages are unnecessary or rare. Normal float lengths can be attempted without a problem.Good200753
TrendFalling (rising over 24 hours)Low - River is low but can still be floated. Some riffles are okay but most come with significant dragging and might need a portage. Float lengths should be reduced to accommodate low flow, dragging, and portages.Low(none)475
USGSExternal icon USGS Site (External icon Duck Duck Go Maps)Poor - River is too low to float comfortably. Most or all riffles will drag or must be portaged and some obstacles (such as slick shelf rock) cause undue problems. Avoid the river at this stage for casual paddling trips.Poor(none)226

We floated this section of the river in order to gain access to a good gravel bar to view the total solar eclipse. The water level was good and the water itself was mostly clear and cool. We stopped at N38.30272237 W90.90611617 to view the eclipse.We floated this section of the river in order to gain access to a good gravel bar to view the total solar eclipse.

The Bull Float Trip. Boats were often packed together so tightly, they were touching. Although low, the river was still floatable and we didn't drag too many times.The Bull Float Trip.
