Alaska has over 3,000 rivers. The Yukon River discharges 240,000 cubic feet per second at the mouth, making it the fifth ranked U.S. river. The Yukon River (2,300 miles total, 1,875 in Alaska) ranks third in length of U.S. rivers behind the Mississippi and Missouri. Above is a picture I took of the five finger rapids on the Yukon River.

There are few areas of the South Platte River that are good floats in our district due to the shallow river depth and/or rapids and there are several areas along the river that are privately owned. By Colorado law, these property owners can restrict access the the portion of the river than runs through their property. For those desiring to float the river it is important that they check the depth and current of the river in the area they choose and be aware of any property restrictions. See similar questions...

No, that's the best part! We provide transportation to rivers in San Marcos, New Braunfels, and Comfort. These floats are better than anything you could find in Austin. See similar questions...

Fish from nearly 1000 lakes and streams in Minnesota have been tested for contaminants. The waters that have been tested are not necessarily more contaminated than those not tested. Waters are selected for sampling where angling is popular, where there is a known or suspected pollution source, or where fish contaminant trends are being tracked. Selections are made by the Interagency Fish Contaminant Monitoring Program. Attention: Non-MDH link See similar questions...

Flow is how much water you have available from the water source and it's different for everyone. Although flow is related to pressure, it's not the same thing. It's possible to have high pressure and low flow. In order to design the best possible drip irrigation system it's essential to know what flow you're starting with. Measuring your flow is easy to do by timing how long it takes to fill a 1 gallon bucket with your faucet opened all the way. See similar questions...

Most major airlines fly to Alaska. Many of our trips start and end in different cities (Anchorage or Fairbanks) and not all the major airlines fly to Fairbanks. If you need help, we can arrange a one way flight between Fairbanks and Anchorage on local carrier Frontier Flying. See similar questions...

How easily air, oil or fuel flows through the filter. Minimising resistance to flow ensures that the engine is never starved of air, oil or fuel. Poor flow in a filter deprives engines of their vital needs, causing them to work harder, lose power and create rapid engine wear over shorter periods. See similar questions...

The Department publishes advice on how much fish people can safely consume due to contaminants. Fish consumption advice for Lake Michigan trout and salmon species is the same whether those migrating species are caught in Lake Michigan or in one of its tributaries. A special study was conducted and showed that for Lake Michigan trout and salmon migrating into tributaries, the fish do not accumulate additional amounts of contaminants after entering the river or stream.

X-Plane 7 featured rivers as textured line segments; the X-Plane 8 rendering engine draws all water, no matter how narrow, as full polygonal waterbodies. The upside of this decision is that a seaplane can correctly land on anything that looks wet in X-Plane 8. The downside is that we cannot draw X-Plane 7 vector rivers in X-Plane 8.

Rivers are presented in many ways - on the base relief maps, large rivers appear as part of the ocean mask where the river width exceeds one half the pixel size. With versions 2 and 2.5, a full hydrography system of rivers are available either as a Photoshop path on the base relief JPEG map, as a TIFF mask or alternatively as a Illustrator EPS or FreeHand file layers. River names can be selected as a separate layer or path and may be edited. See similar questions...

Rivers Lodge is tucked into a sheltered cove (known locally as Sleepy Bay) on the north shore of Rivers Inlet. Rivers Inlet is 260 air miles from Vancouver and is accessible only by float-equipped aircraft or large boats. We have our own charter flights from Vancouver to Rivers Lodge on amphibious aircraft .. a 2-hour scenic experience. See similar questions...

This totally depends on the type of experience you are seeking. If you are fit and a confident swimmer and looking for BIG whitewater action then you should consider the Tolung Canyon , the Kongpo Chu or Drigung Chu. In high water these runs can be very challenging. If you are looking for something a little milder, then the lower Tolung Chu or one of our float trips would be more suitable.

First, river conservation needs an understanding of the function of the river ecosystem that includes both the river channel and the riparian (floodplain) areas. There is a strong need to know, how river organisms and their habitats are related before one can derive actions to preserve or restore river ecosystems. Moreover, river restoration may address various issues. See similar questions...

We run our fly fishing trips on either the Middle Fork or North Fork of the Flathead River, both of which border Glacier National Park. See similar questions...
