Safe Wade — Dam & River Safety

SafeWade helps fly fishermen, kayakers, and river enthusiasts stay safe around hydroelectric dams by translating complex dam generation data into a simple, color-coded status — green means safe to wade, red means generating. Covering 180+ dams across the United States, Safe Wade pulls real-time data from SWPA, TVA, USACE, and the Bureau of Reclamation so you always know what's happening upstream before you step in the water. KEY FEATURES • Simple Safe-to-Wade Status — Green/red indicators show whether a dam is generating or releasing water, so you know if it's safe to wade. • Real-Time Dam Release Schedules — Hourly generation schedules for SWPA and TVA dams, plus current release data (CFS) for Reclamation and USGS-monitored dams. • Live River Gauge Conditions — USGS, NOAA/NWPS, and USACE gauge readings show water level, discharge, temperature, and rising/falling trends at downstream…
