STREAMFLOW: 346 CFS

Too Low
49°, Rain Then Chance Rain

The Douglas Fir Campground to Mt. Baker Highway river run in Washington offers class II-III rapids and stunning scenic views. This section of the river has several obstacles to watch out for, including numerous log jams and boulder gardens that can make navigation tricky. The best time to float this section of water is in the spring when the snowmelt brings the CFS up to around 1000-2000. During the summer, the flow drops to around 500-1000 CFS, making the rapids less challenging. Experienced kayakers or rafters will find this section of the river exciting, while beginners should consider taking a guided tour.

Weather today, Rain, mainly before 10am. High near 49. Light and variable wind becoming west around 6 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.
