Rafting companies are adapting to record‑breaking low water on the Arkansas River. The low flow has made some sections of the river impassable, altering the typical rafting experience on this whitewater classic.
Operators are exploring alternative routes and schedules to keep the sport viable. Some guides have shifted launch times to match the new flow patterns. The changes highlight the river’s shifting conditions and the need for flexibility among those who depend on it for recreation. CPR News reports on the adjustments.
