The following lists the various flow sites reported by Dreamflows, and some whitewater runs associated with those sites. This list isn't by any means exhaustive, but should provide a useful cross-listing. Sites reported by Dreamflows appear against the left-hand margin in bold, while associated runs appear indented underneath. Where available, gauge location information appears beneath the site name, while put-in and take-out locations appear to the right of the run. The terms "above" and "below" mean "upstream from" and "downstream from", respectively, and distances are in river miles.
In general, the flow on any given run will differ to some extent from the reported flow for its gauge. For example, the flow on the Chamberlain Falls run of the North American will usually be lower than the inflow at Clementine, since the run starts many miles upstream from Clementine (side creeks make up the difference). For runs marked ***, the difference is likely to be radical. Please consult a good white-water guidebook for information on how to estimate the actual flow on any given run.

Almost all of the runs below have some basic information about the run: the length, the class, and a tag indicating which guidebook the information was taken from (see the above table for a list of tags). The page numbers (where given) are for the specified edition of the guide. The class ratings listed here never include all the nuances in the guidebook. Note very carefully that the information supplied here is intended only as an aid to selecting runs which might appeal to you. Different authors rate runs differently, some runs have significant rapids and hazards not covered by the rating given here, and ratings change with flow. Also, only a fraction of the information in the guidebooks is presented here. PLEASE CONSULT AN APPLICABLE GUIDEBOOK before selecting a run to paddle.
Many of the runs listed below have links to web pages that describe the run and associated logistics. Many also provide interesting photos. Note: these are third-party web sites, though, and as such Dreamflows cannot vouch for the accuracy or completeness of the information provided; nor are the opinions expressed necessarily shared by Dreamflows. Note also that for many runs, the logistical information is taken from a hardcopy book, even though there are one or more links to online pages as well. This offers the reader multiple sources of run information.
