There will be a whitewater release from Savage River Dam this Sunday (July 1). The release will be from 9 AM until 3 PM with a release rate of about 1000 cfs. We will begin increasing flow at about 7 AM and, at the end of the event, we will reduce the flow to about 55 cfs by 5 PM.

There will also be a slight increase in flows (about 175 cfs) on Thursday from 10 AM until 1 PM to aid the sponsor in identifying any potential hazards in the river so that they can be removed prior to the event on Sunday.

Yes, there is camping slightly below the Putin on river left along Savage River Rd. (if you cross over the savage while heading North-west on Savage River Rd and start going uphill, you went too far) I think the camping fee for that area is $5, that you stick in an honor box.

I plan to paddle it Sunday
