River People brings your river planning, paddle log, and paddling community together.
FIND YOUR NEXT RUN
Explore river sections in Quick View or on the map. Compare difficulty, available gauge readings, and runnable indicators. Save favorites and narrow your search by location, class, and river characteristics. Open section details for access points, rapids, reported hazards, and available weather and water-quality context.
KEEP YOUR PADDLE HISTORY
Record GPS runs or add a past paddle. Keep routes, distance, duration, notes, photos, and other run details together. Review your history and merge duplicate entries while choosing which recording to retain.
PLAN WITH YOUR CREW
Browse paddling events and scheduled releases, manage RSVPs, coordinate shuttles, and stay connected through crews, community posts, comments, and direct or group messages.
RECORD WITH A COMPATIBLE WATCH
Companion apps support Apple Watch, Wear OS, and selected Garmin watches. Choose a recording device, control a phone recording, or record on a supported watch and transfer the run for phone review. Saved watch runs shows received recordings and their review, queued-upload, or saved status. Features and pairing requirements vary by platform and watch.
PREPARE BEFORE YOU GO
Save supported river and map information before losing service. Browse paddling learning resources and keep useful information close at hand.
River People is free. Gauge observations, forecasts, release schedules, and community reports are different sources of information; coverage and freshness vary. Confirm conditions and access locally before paddling. Location permission is needed for GPS recording. Watch recording requires the appropriate companion app and device permissions. Save and sync recordings before uninstalling or changing phones.
