What a week! The water on the Arkansas River peaked at over 5000 cfs since the last time I posted. This has been the cause for fear of many possible customers. While companies have been advertising to bring people in, the news outlets are providing false tales about the Arkansas River being "closed" to all rafting.
The river IS NOT CLOSED!
Companies are finding other sections of the Arkansas to use for their trips that are safer, and just as fun, providing huge hits, great waves, and a truly unique experience for all members of the crew. Not that the river can ever be taken lightly -- some guide trips have even flipped! But hey, no one ever said we guides were normal :-)
The river word of the week this week is actually an acronym: CFS. This is an acronym commonly used by all guides from advanced to beginner. CFS stands for Cubic Feet per Second. This is the gauge that outfitters use to measure how fast the river is running. This time of year, the Arkansas runs at about 2000-2500 cfs. Today, it is running at 3600 cfs, and earlier this week it was well over 5000.
To learn more about rafting, and to reserve your spot on a boat with Davie the Raft Guide, call Rock-n-Row or visit the website. We look forward to helping you create a memory that will last a lifetime.
