Or these favorites...Spokane River below 9-Mile Dam (The gauge gives truer levels for Riverside St. Park run and includes Latah Creek and aquifer percolation.). CLICK HEREMoyie River at Eastport, ID (The chart is a correlation to the gauge at the dam) CLICK HEREWenatchee River at Peshastin, WA (Use for Main Wenatchee, for Tumwater use gauge at Plain). CLICK HEREClark Fork River at St. Regis, MT (This gauge includes flow from St. Regis River) CLICK HERESalmon River at Whitebird, ID (Gauge for Lower Salmon and Riggins area) CLICK HERESt. Joe River at Calder, ID (This gauge is good for Skookum, Tumbledown will be a little less) CLICK HERELochsa River at Lowell, ID (This gauge is NOT the one on the bridge at Three Rivers). CLICK HEREHangman/Latah Creek near Spokane. (This gauge is near the takeout for the lower run, upper will be about half. Recommended flows: 1,600-1,800 minimum for a good run, 3000 plus for FUN! Be careful of taking rafts as sharp rocks abound and are next to impossible to see in the chocolate milk water.) CLICK HERE

Hangman/Latah Creek near Tekoa (This gauge is near the Idaho stateline and will give a more true reading of the N. Kentuck launch levels). CLICK HERE

CFS to stick gaugesRiver runners on the Moyie and Lochsa depend on data derived from stick gauges to plan their runs. The Moyie gauge is located on the backside of the dam at Moyie Falls while the Lochsa's in on the bridge at 3-Rivers. Both provide an approximate cubic-feet-per-second conversion.

 

Hangman/Latah Creek on Jan. 1, 1997 as it reached an all-time flow of over 20,000 cfs.

Lochsa River Flow Chart: This chart compares flows from the USGS gauge to the popular "stick" gauge that is found at the bridge at 3 Rivers.

Moyie River Flow Chart: This chart compares flows from the USGS gauge to the popular "stick" gauge that is found at the dam. Simply look up the flow in CFS and compare it to the chart. 4-feet is approximately 2,500 cfs. while 6-feet is about 4,500 cfs.
