RMA Poudre Rock Report

Boat passage at Poudre River Diversion Dam Moves Forward

By

After multiple years of advocacy by American Whitewater, the local outfitting community led by Rocky Mountain Adventures, and our nonprofit partners, the City of Fort Collins has agreed to improvements that will allow for boat and fish passage at the Gateway Diversion Dam in the lower Cache la Poudre River canyon. These dam modifications will restore aquatic connectivity and nearly double the length of the Filter Plant run, one of the river’s most popular reaches and one of the few true quality beginner whitewater runs in the area.

The Riv has dropped below the lines, therefore this will be our last regular transmission of the 2024 season. It has been a good run. There are more waters to explore out there, and our beloved Poudre will be back in the spring. So for now, from the Poudre Rock Report Team and our Sponsor RMA- Adieu. Aufwiedersehen. Gesundheit. Farewell.

Currently 51˚F, whisky clouds and calm.
