Check the Madison website before you go. Currently there is a posted alert showing brownout conditions.

The websites are sometimes not up to date on conditions. You can call the Madison Blue Spring ranger station at (850) 971-5003 to make sure they're open.

Or call Dive Outpost at (386) 776-1449.

The websites for Lafayette, Troy and Peacock are always up to date, and typically Madison is also, since the alerts are managed at the park level. You can also try to call Suwannee River State Park 386-362-2746 as they are the management unit for Madison.

Madison is currently open. Haven't been there myself, but I hear it's more or less clear after the cavern and flow is ripping.

Has anyone been in the OG to Challenge to Olsen area of Peacock lately?
It would seem that area would clear the earliest, due to the feeder tunnels between OG and challenge?

Saturday it was clear to the Distance Tunnel.

OK, its a month later.
Any condition info on the mainline from P1 to Challenge...and the Waterhole/Breakdown Room side?

Last week it was clear to crossover on the peanut line. Month before it was tannic
Cow was clear and P3 was clear. Guessing everything is back to the now normal

Thanks for the update. I figured things had to be good, finally, by now, as the river gauge at Branford is 12.5 ft. below flood stage.

Did Wishbone via Nicholson and Waterhole on Tuesday, Traverse OG --> Peanut Wednesday. Tue: a bit milky on the Olsen & Cisteen lines, little-to-no tannic, even in Wishbone. We were mid-to-late afternoon Tue for the Waterhole dive and whoever was there before us silted things up pretty badly from the cavern zone on up the Waterhole line. Don't know if there's a name for it, but 100 - 200' up Waterhole line it goes up a hill to a restriction then down the other side, and beyond that things were just mildly milky, but not silted up, so I think that's where the earlier team may have gotten in to the dirt.

On the traverse Wednesday, crystal clear OG to Challenge, milky after Challenge, clear on the Peanut line.
