USGS WATER LEVEL

USGS Water Level for the Mulberry & other rivers

USGS gauge located 23 miles downstream from Turner Bend

Mulberry River Levels for Kayaking, Canoeing, and Rafting:

THE MULBERRY RIVER GAUGE @ THE TURNER BEND LANDING MEASURES THE RIVER LEVEL IN 2/10s INCREMENTS, THE RIVER DIFFICULTY AS RELATES TO THAT GAUGE IS DESCRIBED AS FOLLOWS:

below 1.0 too low

1.0-1.4 kayaks only. wear good shoes.

1.5-1.7  Getting low for canoes. Kayaks still do well.

1.8-2.0 good Low water floating. too low for rafts.

2.1-2.2 modest flow that is OK for beginners. 

2.3-2.4 Good mild whitewater

2.5-2.6 pretty good whitewater with lots of rock dodging. enough water for a short raft trip

2.7-2.8 challenging for beginners because of the exposed rocks. good fun level.

2.9-3.0 many rapids are at their best in this range. not a casual picnic float.

3.1-3.6 Prime white water. Most rocks are covered. Big waves that can swamp canoes. Great rafting

3.7-4.0 Big fast water with almost no pools. All the rocks are covered at this level. Powerful current, Canoes beware.

4.1-4.4 You must know the river and know what you are doing. Kayak and raft rentals only if we are assured that you are skilled.

4.5-5.0 Too much water for rental. Too high to get under the low water bridge. The river exceeds its banks and flows through the trees.

*FLOODS CAN ALTER THE RIVER CHANNEL AND CAUSE MINOR CHANGES IN THE GAUGE READING COMPARED TO PAST EXPERIENCE.


AGE RESTRICTIONS:
No one under the age of 8 at river level of 3.1' or above.
no one under the age of 4 at any time.
