BOISE, Idaho - The Bureau of Reclamation will increase flow from Lucky Peak Dam on the Boise River beginning Thursday, May 19. The discharge will increase 500 cubic feet per second both Thursday and Friday, and result in flow of approximately 2,800 cfs through the city of Boise as measured at the Glenwood Bridge gauging station.
The water will continue to be fast and cold. Please stay out of the river and use caution when recreating near the river.
This increase in flow will provide additional water for salmon migration in the lower Snake and Columbia rivers in accordance with NOAA Fisheries 2008 Upper Snake Biological Opinion, under the Endangered Species Act.
