DISCLAIMER — READ BEFORE FLOATING. Flow ratings, float times, and hazard reports on this site are suggestions based on community experience and public data, not official safety guidance. Conditions on the Duck River change quickly and vary by stretch. Floating, paddling, or swimming any river is inherently dangerous and is undertaken entirely at your own risk. Never rely on this app — or on any app or any other person — in place of your own judgment. You alone are personally responsible for your safety and the safety of everyone in your party. Check conditions yourself at the water, wear a life jacket, and stay off the river when in doubt.
Flow data: TVA Normandy Dam release (dam → Shelbyville) · USGS gauges Shelbyville, Columbia, Hurricane Mills (below Shelbyville) · Forecast: Open-Meteo. Upper-river flow ratings (under 300 good · 300–400 caution · over 400 not recommended, gates typically closed) reflect local community knowledge; lower-river ratings at Columbia and Hurricane Mills are unverified estimates and are labelled as such. River miles Normandy Dam → Henry Horton are verified against a public access-distance document; miles below Henry Horton are approximate. Float-time estimates improve as floaters report real times. Always wear a PFD.
