that keeps all boaters on their toes through the entire ride. I'd use USGS's CFS ratings to
determine run-ability instead of the feet gauge. Anything above 5,000 CFS is pretty high for this
river and boaters should use caution going through the Dam and Hole in the Wall as logs have
historically become wedged in these narrow canyons. Between 3-5,000 CFS is my personal favorite
levels. Most rocks are covered, waves get big and it's a fun ride. Careful at the dam, the lateral
and boil lines can flip a 14 foot boat. More rocks and holes start to come out below 3,000 CFS but
Eileen Dam becomes more manageable. 1,000 CFS and below is really bony. Avoid swimmers above and
immediately below Eileen Dam at all times. The river flows underneath it and there are strong
under-currents.
the Moyie this spring due to high water levels and we just realized that it has been runnable for
quite some time. The level reported by the dam today is 3.8', whereas the online guage says 6.44.
Some folks are probably missing out on a good run b/c of the mix up... Edit
water. "Hole in the Wall" is a fun little rapid...look for the mountain peak staring you in the
face when you round a bend...then you know you're getting close to it. Edit
