Floating Update-Deckers. Sunday, July 23, 2023

Flows through Deckers this morning, 165cfs. Friends, this is getting to the really low end of being able to float the river. At 167cfs, you have some spots that you may have to walk through. Finding a section and repeating is going to make your day much more enjoyable. One of the big issues we see when the flow is this low is busted tubes along the river. Please don’t be that person and pick up your garbage. If you are planning on floating the river today, just be sure to be equipped with proper safety gear and never float alone. It’s going to be a warm one folks! Highs in the 90’s. Please read the safety information below, as this should be your number one priority.  Also, please keep in mind the rules around parking, camping, and day-use areas as you enjoy your time on the South Platte. BRING CASH! You cannot use your debit/credit card to pay for day-use fees. Please be aware that you will have to pay for each vehicle that enters the day-use area parking lots. What this specifically means is that ALL vehicles that are utilizing the parking lot must pay the $10 day-use fee. There is NO FREE TEMPORARY PARKING at the day-use areas along the river. Season passes for access to the day-use areas are only $100. Thanks for continuing to support the website and our National Forests.
