⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY & RIVER UPDATE: James River at Galena ⚠️

To everyone out on the water or planning a trip: please be aware that a Flood Watch is currently in effect.
While the rain may be holding off right here at the moment, upstream conditions are causing river levels to change rapidly. The official NOAA forecast indicates the river is projected to spike dramatically, reaching a minor flood stage depth of 17.5 feet.

Key Details:
📍 Location: James River (MO) at Galena
📈 Predicted Peak: 17.5 feet
⏰ Timeline: Expected rise over the next 18 hours, peaking by Sunday morning (June 14)

What this means for you:

Conditions on the water are going to change quickly and become hazardous. We are strongly advising all floaters to monitor the weather closely, prioritize safety, and stay off the water as levels rise.
Please share this to help keep our community and fellow floaters safe! We will continue to post updates as conditions develop. 🌧️🌊

Ozark wildlife is counting on us! 🦆🐟🐢

We are exactly one week away from River Rescue 2026 on Saturday, June 13th! Keeping the James River clean isn't just about beautiful float trips (though we love those!)—it’s about protecting the water quality and habitat for the creatures that call this river home. 🌲💚

Bring your family, your friends, and your favorite water vessel down to Galena for a morning of giving back.

🎒 Quick Checklist:
🛶 Bring your own boat (or request a JRBP canoe during signup before they are all gone!)
🦺 Life jackets are mandatory for everyone on the water.
🥪 Free lunch is on us afterward!

Let's work together to protect a river that belongs to all of us. 🙌
