| DOWNRIVER CANOE COMPANY is open every day, seven days a week. The river level is holding steady in the upper part of our "Normal" range, a great canoeing level. Fishing has been excellent the past week or so, hitting on small spinner baits. We have plenty of equipment available for this Memorial weekend, so last minute floats are welcome. Hope to see you soon on the river. | |

Be advised river conditions can change rapidly with sudden storms or heavy rain in the upper watershed. Also, water temperature can vary up to 6 degrees or more in a single day. To find out more detail about current conditions, try these links:
River Level Descriptions
- TOO DAMN HIGH
- No canoes will be rented when the river is too damn high, no exceptions.
- HIGH
- River is swift and powerful, use extra caution at Compton Rapid and the Low Water Bridge. Small rapids smoothed over. Keep those lifevests zipped up.
- NORMAL
- The ideal canoeing level. Lots of small rapids to play in.
- LOW
- Canoe will bump and scrape some, but canoeists should not have to step out of their canoes. Trips take longer.
- VERY LOW
- Shorten up your trip. Canoeist will have to step out of their canoes from time to time, but even at this level the river can still be quite enjoyable if you take your time.
