Hey, read this real quick.

GorgeGauge is not an official gauge. The water level readings shown on this site are estimated by an AI model looking at trail camera photos. It is doing its best. Sometimes it is wrong.

This site exists to give paddlers a rough sense of conditions on the White Salmon River. It is not a substitute for your own judgment, local knowledge, or official USGS gauge data.

Whitewater kayaking and rafting are inherently dangerous activities. River levels change fast. A "Chill" reading this morning can be "Wildin'" by afternoon. Always scout, always check multiple sources, and always paddle within your ability.

By using this site you acknowledge that you are a grown adult who makes your own decisions. GorgeGauge, its creator, and anyone affiliated with it accept zero liability for anything that happens on or near the water. If something goes sideways, that's on you — not on a website that read a photo with AI.

Be safe out there. Wear your gear. Tell someone where you're going.
