About this run

Murphy To Bruneau

The MP 515 to Chalk Creek Bridge river run on the Jarbidge River in Nevada is a challenging Class III to IV rapids run with steep drops, tight turns, and challenging boulder gardens. This river run is best suited for experienced kayakers and rafters who are comfortable with technical whitewater maneuvers. The best time to float this section of water is during the late spring and early summer months when water levels are high, with recommended CFS (cubic feet per second) ranges of 800-1,300. Obstacles to watch out for include tight chutes, large boulders, and turbulent eddies.

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.
