Embed a live river-level badge

Run an outfitter, livery, campground, or river-town site? Drop in a free badge that always shows the current paddling verdict for your stretch of river — updated automatically from USGS gauges, no maintenance on your end.

How to add it

Paste this HTML where you want the badge, and swap the section slug for your river:

<iframe
  src="https://canwepaddle.com/embed/current-river-akers-to-pulltite/"
  width="340" height="150" style="border:0;overflow:hidden"
  loading="lazy" title="Live river level"></iframe>

Find your section's slug

Open your river's page from the rivers directory. The slug is the last part of the URL — for example /rivers/missouri/current-river-akers-to-pulltite/ has the slug current-river-akers-to-pulltite. Your embed URL is then https://canwepaddle.com/embed/<your-slug>/.

What it looks like

A compact color-coded card: the verdict (good, high–caution, dangerous, or too low), the current flow, the section name, and a link back to the full page. The color updates itself as conditions change.

The fine print

• Free to use. The badge links back to CanWePaddle (that's the deal — it keeps the data free).
• It shows an informational estimate, not a go/no-go authority — the linked page carries the full safety disclaimer.
• The badge caches for about 30 minutes, matching our gauge refresh.

Want a size or style that fits your site better? The iframe is plain HTML — adjust width/height freely. Questions? See the about page.
