Pacific Gas and Electric Company has urged the public to exercise caution as water flows will be higher on the North Fork Feather River during the weekend of July 26-27. These increased flows are intended for whitewater recreation. The Rock Creek Reach, an 8.3-mile stretch of the river, will see flows rise to a minimum of 1,100 cubic feet per second by 9 a.m. on July 26. Flows will then decrease to 900 cubic feet per second until July 27, when they will gradually return to the normal 400 cubic feet per second. … In collaboration with the American Whitewater organization and the Rock Creek–Cresta Ecological Resource Committee, these whitewater flows are scheduled for four weekends annually. Additional dates include August 23-24 and September 27-28.
