T15n,R58e,Sec 7 To T15n,R57e,Sec 20
The class rating for this run is Class II-III, which means that paddlers can expect moderate to difficult rapids with moderately high waves and obstacles. The segment mileage of this run is approximately 6 miles and can be completed in about 2-3 hours.
There are various rapids and obstacles on this run that are worth noting. Some of the notable rapids include "Boulder Drop," "Pinball," and "Washboard." These rapids offer an exciting challenge for paddlers.
There are specific regulations that paddlers need to follow while on this run. The use of personal flotation devices (PFDs) is mandatory, and paddlers should always wear them while on the river. Additionally, paddlers should avoid littering and should respect the natural environment and wildlife.
In conclusion, the Whitewater River run in Nevada is an exciting destination for paddlers of all skill levels. The ideal streamflow range, class rating, segment mileage, specific river rapids/obstacles, and specific regulations make this run a must-visit for paddling enthusiasts.
Plan your run down to the hour
Same weather feed Snoflo's iOS app uses -- updated continuously from NOAA / yr.no. Watch the precipitation column on the meteogram; rain ahead of a run typically lifts flows 12-48 hours later depending on the basin.

Campgrounds
Whitewater safety
- Check the flow before you run
- Use the linked-gauge card and Regional Flow panel above. Class ratings change with flow -- a Class III at low water can become Class IV+ at high water.
- Know your skill ceiling
- Pick runs comfortably below your ceiling. Cold-water and big-water runs raise the consequences of any mistake.
- Wear the right gear
- Helmet, PFD, drysuit / wetsuit when water is below 60°F. Throw bag, knife, and whistle on your person, not in the boat.
- Scout, set safety, and run with a team
- Scout new rapids on foot, set safety with throw bags above the consequence pool, and run with at least one other competent paddler.
- Respect the river
- Strainers, undercuts, low-head dams, and wood can kill at any class rating. When in doubt, portage.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app
Save T15n,R58e,Sec 7 To T15n,R57e,Sec 20 as a favorite, set a discharge threshold (e.g. "alert me when flow hits 600 cfs"), and the iOS app pushes the moment the linked gauge crosses.
About T15n,R58e,Sec 7 To T15n,R57e,Sec 20
What's the optimal flow for T15n,R58e,Sec 7 To T15n,R57e,Sec 20?
The optimal flow depends on the section and the craft. Check the Run Details panel for the linked gauge and current status.
How fresh is the cfs reading on this page?
The linked USGS streamgauge reports continuously (every 15 minutes); Snoflo refreshes throughout the day. Hover the streamflow sparkline to read individual datapoints.
What's the whitewater class?
See the Run Details panel for the class rating Snoflo tracks for this run. Class ratings change with flow -- a Class III at low water can become Class IV in high water.
Where do I put in / take out?
Tap Directions in the hero above to open driving directions to the put-in. For shuttle planning, check the Nearby Boat Launches panel and the river run operator's site.
Can I get alerts when flows hit the optimal range?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this run, set a discharge threshold, and you'll get a push the moment the gauge crosses.
