of 3.3 and below cancel trips from Remington down At this level (2.9 and below) you will find our 7 mile Blankenbaker Trip to be a delight. WARNING: Determine
weather the above water levels are RISING OR FALLING before you
leave home. Obviously, if the Remington gauge is at 5.3 and rising DON'T
GO ON THE RIVER. REMEMBER: These two rivers flow together some 15 miles down river from the gauges. It is not unusual for one river to be high & unsafe and the other well within the safe zone. Therefore if your trip is scheduled to pass thru the confluence of the two rivers, APPROACH WITH CAUTION OR DON'T GO ON THE RIVER, or call me and lets talk about it. FOR WATER LEVELS: CLICK
