Hi, does anyone know what the flow rate of the Poudre river currently is? In general how/where would I find this type of information?

This is not for kayaking but for crossing the river to get to some climbing.

Thanks in advance.

yeah, the river is still a little to high to make it to the palace. You can try it, but you'll be swimming, and bumping off rocks, and youll need a dry sack for sure, and youd have to dodge the yakers. Give it like 3-4 weeks and I'm 85% positive itll be good.

edit: ps, I know this because I'm from the fort. But i dont know a website to check in with. Try a kayaking website.

For sure too high right now to cross by foot...

On MtnBuzz the current flow at the canyon mouth shows 937 cfs.
