Geneva Lake outlet dam, and gauge
Save this feature with the run it belongs to.
Gauge Conditions
Runnable: 50.0 – 350.0 CFS
Likely too low. However, rains often can push flows in river up without gauge reflecting that due dam-regulated outlet of Geneva Lake.
Data from American Whitewater & USGS
Description
To distinguish the city from the water-body, apparently the water-body is most properly called Geneva Lake, while the community is Lake Geneva. The outlet of Geneva Lake is a control structure (to maintain lake-surface elevation).
The following details (down to our listed, recommended put-in) are primarily to inform (and somewhat dissuade) paddlers interested in longer paddling trips. The vast majority of which will be flatwater, likely encountering some areas of deadfall, and (as noted) low bridges.
