Surprisingly, the Riv is still runnin’ a 4. It’s a low 4, but definitely touching the bottom of the bar. Currently 47.1F, sunny and calm. NOAA expects the high to reach 68F today with a 10% chance for Isolated Tstorms.

The Lower N Fork is still thumpin’ away at 795 at Livermore! Have fun and be safe!

This is a great level for play in the lower canyon, as evidenced in these photos taken earlier today:

Currently 58.1F partly cloudy and calm. NOAA expects the area around Gateway Park to reach 77F with a 30% chance for T-Storms. They expect a cooling tomorrow, high of 69F.

The N Fork is still pumping at a whopping 787 cfs at the Livermore gauge.

Little South Fork is LOW and scrapie, but runnable. Today there were two mandatory portages, including a new tree strainer half-way through the main rapid. The main rapid can be run down to the sketchy eddy next to the tree on river-right, then portage the tree on river-right and continue on through the rest of the rapid. Here are a few photos from earlier today that show the gauge rocks and the new tree strainer:

Undoubtedly, it would have been at least 3.5 this morn. The water line is just barely below the bar, occasionally lapping it. Currently 77F, sunny and slightly breezy. NOAA is calling for a high of 89F with slight chance for showers in the Gateway Park area!

Lower North Fork of the Poudre is running at 741 cfs at the Livermore gauge as of 1100.

Boat smart! Be safe! and have Fun!
