Weather Tips
- Watch for alerts and stay off the river during high water. Floods not only bring faster currents but floating debris that can be deadly.
- Thunderstorms come up quickly and lightning is attracted to water. Get off the river at the first sound of thunder.
- Wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to prevent sunburn. Water reflects the rays of the sun, giving you a double dose of ultraviolet light even on cloudy days.
- Exposure to cool air or cold water can lead to hypothermia. Always pack a spare set of clothes in a dry bag in case you tip.
