BOATING INFO
Stay up to date on the latest Dolores River information.
OUR MISSION
RIVER FLOWS
Boating the Dolores River is a unique and exciting experience. Whether you are enjoying the upper Dolores on a day float to town, or if you have the opportunity to experience the lower Dolores River below McPhee Dam, you need to pay attention to flows. Stream flow gages along the Dolores will help you assess your options. While the upper Dolores River flows are dependent on the natural hydrograph of snow runoff and precipitation, the lower Dolores River flows are dependent on both snowpack and the management of McPhee Reservoir. Be sure to check the stream flow gages before embarking on your river adventure, and please note that the lower Dolores River through the Dolores River WSA is a multi-day adventure. For any multi-day trips on the lower Dolores, check in with the Dolores Water Conservancy District to find out if dam releases and flows will allow safe passage for the number of days you are planning on boating.
