Weather/ Water Conditions

We closely monitor weather and river conditions, including river flow. 

River flow is measured in cubic feet per second and it’s one of the key indicators of river conditions. We follow a standard rule of 27 kcfs or 27 thousand of cubic feet per second. This means we do not allow kayakers in the water when the flow is above 27 kcfs. We use a hydrograph provided by the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to determine water conditions.  Check out the following link to view a hydrograph for part of the Allegheny River: https://ow.ly/OWmOF
