2022 River Flow Outlook

---

In California, where an extremely dry winter and a dismal statewide snowpack marks three dry years in a row, dam-controlled rivers like the South Fork and Middle Fork of the American River near Sacramento and the Tuolumne River near Yosemite are expected to have reliable flows for rafting Memorial Day through Labor Day, based on water releases from upstream reservoirs. Free-flowing rivers like the Merced near Yosemite and the North Fork of the American, however, will have abbreviated seasons due to the modest snowpack.
