Last weekend, we got drenched with almost 4 inches of rain. But the good news is the river is only up by about 2 feet, and its forecasted to be back down to normal by this weekend.
View current river levels and forecasts here.
We cant control the weather. But we do have a rain-out policy so you don’t have to worry about the weather on your trip. Click on Rates and Policies for more information.
