How it works
We read live streamflow from USGS gauges every 30 minutes and compare it to a curated runnable range for each named river section. Then we translate that into a simple verdict: too low, good to paddle, high–caution, or dangerous. It's an informational estimate — never a substitute for scouting, a PFD, and local knowledge.
