// Read the Water
CFS — cubic feet per second — is how much river is coming at your legs. Every gauge here is rated SAFE / CAUTION / LIMITED / STAY OUT against thresholds tuned to that river's size. The number lies when the river is rising: a safe reading on climbing water can be a blown-out river by the time you rig up. Watch the trend, not the snapshot.
