SPOKANE, Wash. — Some local river rafting companies say the Spokane River is running low.
Lower water levels, means a higher chance of rafts getting stuck on rocks. But experts say, this is typical for this time of year.
The United States Geological Survey website, that monitors water flow, said during this time of year, the Spokane River flows at a median of 3,500 cfs. It's currently measured at 2,350.
Avista oversees dam operations on the river, and officials said the current rate is typical for the summer months.
In fact, when it comes to enjoying recreational activities on the river, the Spokane River Forum said the stretch leading to TJ Meenach can be enjoyed at 1,000 cfs and up.
Meaning, the current water flow is still high enough for a leisure float down the river.
