The lower Dolores River will remain boatable at least through Sunday. That’s according to managers of McPhee Dam. Inflow into the reservoir from snowmelt has apparently peaked, but managers will continue releases of 1200 to 1600 cubic feet per second through the next several days, and releases will be at least 800 cfs through Sunday. Managers are revising their forecast daily as the situation changes.
