Little River Conditions
I know the river level is at just over 20ft, but that still is not close to "Flood Level" according to NOAA's website. I have heard LR is closed, just wondering is it syphoning.
Last post last week the vis cleared up past the stake in the cavern. Wondering if it is closed why?
Thanks, coming down next Thursday.
It peaked last week. That part of the river is slowly, very slowly, going down. That's the current and near future trend. Just inches a day. Not sure about it being dive-able at this moment though. I'm contemplating checking it out next Friday morning by boat, unless someone else checks sooner.
Great, thanks for the update. Shouldn't rain until Tues/Wed. of course that could offset all the water subsiding. Oh well. Thanks for keeping me updated. Was it syphoning yet?
Please note "flood level" doesn't equate to springs reversing. Each spring means of reversal is unique based on things like high flow versus low flow, long spring runs, river vents etc,but typically they will reverse before even action stage is reached. Little River isn't like it was 20 years ago and would have a clear basin even with a higher river levels, it seems to reverse easily. Also, when the river drops, it will probably spew tannic water for sometime.Originally Posted by knabuecave

Yup, I'm with ya. Just being hopeful. Anyway, a day in Cave Country is better by far than being at work in downtown Charlotte, NC with the CIAA tournament going on next week. If Ginnie is all we have, then that ain't that bad!
has anyone been in Little River lately? Conditions please?

Primary tie off at the stairs! Rock!
It was so windy it was hard to see a boil but we thought we saw one. We didn't have the gear to dive, just popped in for a look see.
I see th river level is down below 16ft, anyone care to post some pics of the spring head topside?
