Bear River Releases Anticipated This Weekend (ID)

posted June 12, 2009

by Kevin Colburn

Paddlers are reminded that based on nearly a decade of negotiations and study, Idaho's Bear River is finally benefiting from pulse flows that provide great Class IV and V boating as well as ecological benefits. There are currently two different types of releases: scheduled and flow-dependent. The dam owner has alerted us that flow-dependent releases are anticipated on both Saturday and Sunday of this weekend, June 13th and 14th, 2009.

Additional Information:

Check out the release announcement in the Document Box to the right.

The flow prediction phone line is: 1-800-547-1501, press 3.
