Rm 7 To Rm 15 (Town Of Beaver) river run
Rm 7 To Rm 15 (Town Of Beaver)
The ideal streamflow range for this section of the river is between 800 to 2,000 cubic feet per second (cfs). Anything below 800 cfs may result in shallow and rocky areas, while anything above 2,000 cfs may become dangerous and challenging for even experienced paddlers.
Some of the notable rapids and obstacles in this section include Staircase, The Chute, and Big Drop. Staircase is a series of drops and ledges that require careful navigation, while The Chute is a narrow channel with steep drops that require precise maneuvers. Big Drop is the most challenging rapid in this segment, with a steep, technical drop that requires advanced paddling skills.
There are specific regulations that paddlers must adhere to in this area. For instance, all paddlers are required to wear personal flotation devices (PFDs) at all times while on the river. Additionally, paddlers are not allowed to camp along the riverbanks in this section.
Overall, the RM 7 to RM 15 segment of the Whitewater River is a thrilling and challenging destination for experienced paddlers. It's important to check the streamflow levels before embarking on this journey and to be familiar with the area's regulations to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

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.
