Gauge Description:
Optimal: 20,000 cfs, according to Vince's Idaho Rafting Page. This section, though, still has plenty of water at flows as low as 8,000 cfs. Flow is regulated by the dam, and flows rarely drop below 7000 cfs. That makes Hell's Canyon the perfect fall run when everything else is too low. Flows do fluctuate widly during the course of each day with changing releases for Hells Canyon Dam. Changes of 10,000 cfs are not uncommon.
