Welcome!
Site Description
Welcome to boatingbeta.com. This site provides information (i.e., beta) on the most popular whitewater runs, park-and-play spots, squirt boating destinations and flat water paddled by Asheville, NC canoeists and kayakers. You'll find real time streamflows, rainfall totals and weather forecasts, predicted flows on ungauged runs, information on interpreting flows and rainfall totals, river descriptions, directions from Asheville to the put ins and take outs, a searchable photo archive, camping, eating and entertainment recommendations and much more.
This site is -- and always will be -- a work in progress. If you have information to add on any subject related to those listed above, requests to add or information on other runs you would like to see here, or note any needed corrections, please e-mail me.
Two new features for 2009! First, boatingbeta's river flows are now available in concise form in WAP format. Check flows using your PDA or mobile phone using the url boatingbeta.com/wflows.
Second, boatingbeta's popular All Scheduled Releases Calendar is now available as a Google calendar. If you want a copy to add to your personal calendar, log into your Google calendar and type "webmaster@boatingbeta.com" into the "add a friend's calendar" field and I'll add you to the list of people who can download it.
