UTAH FLOW REPORT

Last Updated: February 13, 2026

Utah's rivers are experiencing a variety of streamflow conditions, with several areas showing lower than normal flows, which may impact river enthusiasts and ecosystems alike. Notably, the Colorado River near Cisco currently flows at 2,180 cubic feet per second (cfs), a minor increase over the last 24 hours, yet it remains 19.67% below what's typical for this season. The Green River, a haven for whitewater recreation, particularly near Greendale and through Dinosaur National Monument, flows at a concerning 841 cfs, which is a significant 37.62% below normal. Such low levels not only affect recreational activities but also raise concerns over water availability and ecosystem health. The Virgin River, with sections near St. George and Bloomington, shows an unusual uptick in flow, potentially indicating localized flooding risks.

In contrast, the Virgin River basin offers a brighter outlook, with streamflow near St. George at 125 cfs, marking a substantial 22.81% above normal, and near Bloomington at 120 cfs, 24.96% above normal, which may entice kayakers seeking higher flows. However, water enthusiasts should exercise caution as rapid increases can lead to dangerous conditions. The Logan and Bear Rivers are also experiencing increased flow rates, which could affect communities like Corinne, and might also provide improved conditions for fishing and water sports. Meanwhile, the Provo River, essential for both wildlife and outdoor activities, is showing mixed conditions with a flow near Charleston of 173 cfs, slightly above the norm. Lastly, the Surplus Canal and Jordan River in Salt Lake City register significantly reduced flows, which could impact urban water management. Rivergoers should remain vigilant, as streamflow conditions are dynamic and can quickly change, influencing both accessibility and safety on these cherished waterways.
