HELLS CANYON DAM RIVER FLOWS:

 

The Snake River is controlled by the Hells Canyon Dam, which is the start of Hells Canyon Whitewater Rafting Trips. The highest water of the year is normally in the spring through May and June, then the level slowly lowers throughout the summer. High water provides big roller coaster style waves and quick water, sometimes even burying rapids into nothing but flat water. Lower water amplifies rapids making them super splashy and fun. All levels are a blast in Hells Canyon and there’s always water throughout the summer thanks to the Hells Canyon Dam!
