A low snowpack is setting the stage for a different kind of rafting season out West—but that doesn’t mean you should sit this one out. 🚣

In our just-released 2026 Whitewater Rafting Outlook, Bruce Lavoie, OARS Dinosaur Operations Manager and Director of Risk Management, explains how reservoir releases from Flaming Gorge will make trips on the Green River—especially Gates of Lodore and Desolation Canyon—the most reliable multi-day whitewater option in Utah this season, with fun, consistent summer flows.

Across the region, our operations managers are seeing similar silver linings. Curious what to expect this season in Utah and beyond? Read the full report in the comments.
