[RC] American River crossing at Poverty Bar (Tevis trail) - sherman
Thanks for the info, Steve. That would certainly explain the
different opinions, even on the same day, about the amount of flow at Poverty
Bar. I suspected that changing water flow for the rafters was somehow involved,
but I hadn’t quite figured it out. I will check with PCWA.

Hi Folks;
Not to disagree with anyone's observations.
A call to the Placer County Water Agency or check their
website.
The hydro department may be the people to call first.
This should provide information for a safe way as
you may not be able to make a low water crosssing if
it is warm in Sacramento, as the
releases into the AmericanRiver are
controlled to make hydro-electricity.
These river flows are normally controlled for the Western
States Run and the Western States Ride through agreements with PCWA.
p/s
Hightide is normally btw 12:00 and 3:00 PM for the rafters and the hydro this
is the time that the discharges normally reach Poverty Bar.
