River Flow Information |
https://www.nae.usace.army.mil/Missions/Recreation/Ball-Mountain-Lake/ This section of river is dependent on flow being released from an upstream hydropower dam. ACOE-controlled spring and fall weekend releases allow for boating on two sections of the West: The Upper West, class III; and the Lower West, class II. Total drop is 161 feet over 2.75 miles. The reach includes beautiful scenery and can be viewed by land as well on the West River Trail. |
