Current Streamflow: gauge is frozen @ Northgate Canyon.

The Northgate canyon will be frozen this time of year, typically we see low flows and skinny water. It might be worth your while to try either the Grey Reef or Miracle Mile sections of the North Platte, or some of our other fantastic local waters. Keep your eyes open for our float trips on these waters come next spring!
