River	Current River	Rating	Observed	Estimated
Updated	2026-08-09 12:30 (1 hour 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)	6229
Discharge	1870 cfs (median: 968 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)	2271
Height	3.86 feet	Good - 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.Good	700	1616
Trend	Falling (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)	1191
USGS	USGS Site ( 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)	645

	2025-08-03	Jacks Fork River	Old Ferry Access	Total trip distance: 14.4 miles0.8	Good	1480	3.53	Poor	None Edmond, Alex Edmond, Brian Edmond, Joseph We floated the short distance from the Jacks Fork to this takeout. I paid Harvey's $65 to shuttle our rig here, a good deal and much better than taking two vehicles. We got off the river at 1300 hours. The boat ramp was really slick and Joseph went down hard while loading the boats. He has an injured leg that we hope will heal quickly. I'm glad we were able to get out for the weekend. I'd only consider doing this stretch again during the week or off-season to avoid the people, horses, and less than ideal camping situation.

Didn't anticipate the increased flow rate (i.e., average speed) below Two Rivers when trip planning. Could have used a rest day on the Jacks Fork.
