Nevada Irrigation District (NID) will be releasing 350 cfs into the Bear River below Rollins Reservoir on Saturday, November 14 and Sunday, November 15. Releases will also happen from Wednesday Nov 18 to Sunday the 22.

American Whitewater is partnering with Nevada Irrigation District (NID) and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) to identify a preferred range of whitewater boating flows on numerous reaches in the Yuba and Bear watersheds. Information obtained from surveys completed by boaters will help us identify flow preferences for whitewater boating. Flow preferences determined from boater surveys will be used to evaluate possible effects on whitewater boating from Project operation and help define flow needs.

Boater input is very important to this process. Please help us, yourself, and your friends by filling out a survey if you paddle this reach this coming weekend. The survey is located at:
