IMPORTANT
River conditions can change quickly. Tailwaters is a planning and judgment aid, not a guarantee of safe access or navigation.
Always observe current conditions, posted signs and official regulations. Wear an appropriate life jacket, know your route and takeout, and never rely on the app as your only source of safety information.
