Thread the amber gates, miss the rocks, and get to the bottom fast.

Arrows or WASD: steer, paddle harder, back-paddle. On touch, drag on the water: sideways steers, up and down set your pace.

Run a different river

Any of these has a live gauge reading right now. Free runs use that river's real flow and do not count as the daily.

How it works

Every day at midnight UTC the run moves to a new river from the map. The course follows that river’s real course line, and the day’s speed, wave size, and rock count come from its live USGS streamflow. Low water is slow and rocky; big water is fast and wavy.

Today’s water

  • Flow: 136 cfs
  • Gauge height: 1.98 ft
  • Gauge: CROOKED RIVER BLW OSBORNE CANYON, NR OPAL CITY, OR

A game, not a guide

This is a stylized time trial. The gates and rocks are invented, and nothing here says anything about how hard or safe the real river is. Real conditions change fast, so check the river’s page and local guidance before you get near actual water. See the real Crooked River.
