Just upsteam of the confluence with Beaver Creek - Lower Dolores River.

Low Flows in the Lower Dolores

Stateline rapid has changed due to a flash flood spring 2010. At flows from 750-1900 water no longer flows around the upper island at the top of the rapid. After the upper island the majority of the water diverts to the right and goes over the dam. The river left has many more rocks in it and has a narrow run river left. At flows higher then 2000 this may open up more. portage can be done by lining boats over dam on the right.
